I don't really understand this. Assuming that karma here worked similarly to karma on reddit, you got more of it when people voted on your comments or submissions, right? And then this was converted into clout, which is unspendable? What exactly is the currency for voting, then -- karma or clout? What is the purpose of the conversion?

I might be dense right now due to a lack of sleep.
