Hard work and diligence will, after many years, pay off with you being elevated upward to a place where you will look down on those who are toiling to reach your station in life. You will be praised by all for your accomplishments at reaching each level and it will give you a sense of satisfaction in your life that perhaps was missing due to events such as a boring job or a bad relationship. So its all good.

to give you a little dopamine surge as a reward and coax you into posting more.

Its fun

Dont know .. don't care .. people matter - not points

Maybe egalitarian philosophy. Just a guess. If it comes up on the test i will probably just draw a Ven-diagram

"As this site is completely free, we have to put limits on contacting others to avoid spamming. We do this with levels based on a simple point system where each activity is assigned points and members level up once they reach a certain number of points.

Levels are mostly a way to help identify and reward those who contribute to the growth of the community. We also give more access and benefits depending on level. For example, posts by new members are reviewed before they show up to others (except on the profile page where they go up instantly) whereas members of higher levels have their posts go live instantly. Also, we let members with higher levels contact others more than lower levels."
