I really don't get the fake points or care, Imgur is my escape from all the BS, but honestly it has become a lot like Facebook.

You made me happy!

I like upvotes

That's why I'm always proud of my posts that get 80 points

See, there's a whole lot of internet strangers who can be indifferent to you as well! (I have trouble seeing the upside)

I'm always in a state of shock when I get upvotes.

What? But I'm here to make myself happy.

Orrrr I represents another person that agrees with you in an argument against an ignorant fool. Both are very nice

While we are providing our thoughts, I think reposting without indicating that you're doing so is deceitful.

I'm at about a 1 up to 30 downvotes. Muhahahhaha - With facts no less.

Stubbed my finger downvoting this so lightning fast

You are right!

I've made at least 40,000 people a little happier. In real life I can barely make myself happy. Also I don't even know 40,000 people.

You can use them to gauge your humor/opinions against a random, non-representative cross sample of internet users.

Those that data is inherently flawed to the majority of people groups that would be on this site in the first place
DiedAndHauntingImgur
But that would require a baseline to know if you are more or less funny than average

Such as the average number of points of all Imgurians with x number of posts.

In theory yes but people on this site go bananas for same stale references and jokes

I know how to get downvotes. Getting up votes can be pretty tricky sometimes.

Not really a random cross-section though. Mostly Americans and I'm sure the average age for this site is probably around 20-40.

I would have to say imgur as a whole is quite biased though

A thousand times, this. It's an open set of people pretending to be a closed community accepting of all, as long as the "rules" are followed

This is a sound approach with the one exception being Fartharder, who shall go down in history as our most beloved/downvoted imgurian.

There's a sci-fi story, I can't recall the name of, where the world currency is based on your internet popularity.

Area under the curve. If you can make 1,000 people a little happy that is like making a few people really happy.
