It’s the ranking system. The more points you have, the higher you are ranked. The 250th in the world has 800k points for example. And also the more points you have, the better icons you unlock = bragging rights
HOW DOES THE POINTS SYSTEM WORK ON IMGFLIP? EVERYTIME YOU UPVOTE A MEME, YOU GET A POINT. EVERYTIME SOMEONE UPVOTES YOUR MEME, YOU GET 40 POINTS. EVERYTIME SOMEONE UPVOTES YOUR COMMENT, YOU GET 30 POINTS. EVERYTIME YOU CREATE A MEME YOU GET TWO POINTS. DUMBASS.
