The tiny plot of reputation over time doesn't convey much and isn't as motivating as a green "+10" floating by your visible-on-every-page rep on the status bar. A widget that tracks your progress toward one specific badge (without even telling you what that badge represents) can be just as demotivating as motivating. Meanwhile, the amount of prime home page screen real estate devoted to these is hugely disproportionate to what's actually important. | |

But once you get to a certain level (varies by person as to what that level is) most people don't want to see anything except a single total # unless they specifically want to think about it all for some reason. And then all they have to do is click into their profile and they can look at the details. | |
| Oct 16, 2024 at 7:10 | comment | added | Ja Da | The badges and reputation progress just seems so entirely useless to me. Like what do I care what my reputation is over time? And badges, what can I even do with them? If they were physical then yeah, I guess, but they're basically just records in a database and entirely meaningless to me | |
