@noeinstein777, I don't see the problem of the videos not really being watched as being as severe (and I must confess there are a few topics that, although I lived in the USA for a while, are to much focusses on US public institutions to be of real interest). As far as I know you only get points for the video once and a number of videos already have questions embedded in them that will halt them, which you wouldn't notice with the volume down and not watching.

I think KA is focussing on the quality and quatity of the content. If someone is abusing some aspects of the system to gain energy points, they might not care. One of the reasons I think that is so, is because there is no official ranking on points or badge count. But they could at least combine the choice you have to publish your points with the publishing of the badge counts, and maybe with some abstracted indication on how this was achieved. I am not sure why they allow you to hide the badge count separately from your energy points.
