Congratulation! You were just a year behind me joining. We have seen a lot of changes. I like to see people using the platform in different ways, but we do have issues. What gets regarded as 'over-rewarded' is a matter of opinion, but we should not be driving away those who could help it grow. I'm interested to see what the future brings.
Have fun!
The debate on reward is always relative, we need more usable ways to engage people.
