You ask a question, I provide the answer, you "accept" the answer and
I get reputation points. Therefore, I have exchanged my knowledge to
you for points that show I have knowledge on the subject.

This sort of exchange is particularly beneficial on StackOverflow
because it migrates to a careers.stackoverflow.com profile. This
profile is a resume that literally shows your knowledge to a potential
employer.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological
personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the
corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a
condition to which they are quickly addicted."
