The weight of fake and meaningless internet points

Rober conducted a test where 50,000 of his followers were given a puzzle to solve with one group being penalized for failed attempts and the other moving ahead with the original amount of points, regardless of any failures. 

  1. The success rate of the penalized group resulted in around 52% 
  2. whereas the non-penalized group's success rate reached 68%. 

The results also showed that the non-penalized group made more than twice as many attempts to solve the puzzle as compared to the penalized group.
