I do agree with you. What would have been a better incentive, or do you think the prior system was better?
Personally, it actually motivated me to be a bit more active and finish my post. But I have also noticed a bit of “farming” for points (which was very much a consideration I’m sure, hence “good heart token”).
I think the reason it appealed to me was that the feedback mechanism was tangible and (somewhat) immediate. Contrast that with, say, pure upvotes, which feel non-impactful to me.
I think an incentive is good, but one that is less than pure dollar values and more than ego-filling-warm-fuzzy-feeling upvotes.
