Influence score on this site, what does it mean to you?

Hi, mostly from curiosity, I was wondering what does the influence score here on this site mean personally for you? Are you trying to reach the top because of being competitive, do you have other reasons or do you even care? Do you follow people with high score? Saving Changes...

The influence score is a nudge to contribute to the community, and it does certainly work. Like others have stated, it should not be a goal on its own. Saving Changes...

Dear Stéphane Thank you for sharing this difference with us (between involved and committed).
In my opinion the influence on the community (we want or not ... whether we like it or not) reflects that
In the community, in the projects we manage, in life :-)

It is interesting that due to political correctness, the pig & chicken explanation has been dropped from most agile courses when speaking about core stakeholders vs. observers.
I just checked it... I fully forgot that we have the number in our profile.
For me doesn't mean anything, I've never shared the number with my friends/peers or in other social networks.
Also, I'm worried that this number and the community TOP contributors makes that some comments, questions, answers have very poor quality (as other already mentioned)
For those that show interest and love it, how do you use it? Do you share it with your employer? Or in other social media?
That is the worst part of that gamification score, quality of contribution.
I also question the secondary score for practice Areas, how is it built?
when I click on the Influence number, in the detail I have the same practice twice! Saving Changes...
