Welcome,

I'm here for a few months and nothing makes sense to me either.

The coin minded people seem to thrive here.
your (25) value somehow affects things. the more valued posts you write the more your personal value will rise so you need time and patience,
And lost of followers who stay in touch with you.

This is actually the part i dislike however it seems to be key to the entire sysem. Still making up my mind what to think of it.
