Well, not that I ever did it on Reddit, but here it's even less rewarding to submit or share content simply for any kind of "points" you might get. It's about the approval of the community that keeps me from sharing. I don't share everything, and I do consider before sharing something if it is really worth it for others to read it or see it. On Reddit people just submit stuff in hopes people like it and they get upvotes for it. Here, if I just submit a bunch of crap hoping to get more "points", it may actually lose me followers, so it serves no purpose to share something unless I legitimately want others to see it because it's important or a well written article.
