I'm trying this out and so far so good

Seems like you get a reasonable amount of points without depending on Cliques of the community to allow for them so to speak.  A lot of content sites are not really dependent on content to say the least.  And the last thing the social sites do is socialize--it's all about copied photos and quick meaningless posts for points.  The comments aren't even communication. This is not the case all the time with everyone, but usually with the ones you hear from the most.  So Swag bucks seem to be what's going on.  I signed up for Listia because it seemed to be fun but had no idea what to list.  Everything I got, I seem to need or have already given away.  But it would be fun to list something.
