The 150 points to each user (450 weekly, but did 600 this week) is a small thing altjoigh I believe there's some benefit to those who get them and generally people probably try a little harder to be on that list. That's not a bad thing.
What was really cool, was that others did what you did and donated points for me to use. I tag them in the Monday as I do you post too. That's community in action.
