Question

What are yahoo points for?

Answer 1

To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take.. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

Answer 2

In the real world, nothing. In YahooLand,  as you acquire points, you advance to higher levels with higher limits on what you can do here. Points are just an indication of your level of participation here.

You sure can't turn them in for iTunes.
