60-second Explainer: aura points

#aurapoints is a playful scoring system on social media that saw mentions spike 378% in just one month. It lets Gen Z show their social prowess, or lack of, through everyday interactions. Score 100 points for a successful date, lose 1000 for social faux pas like lingering too long on Snapchat past age 19. While it might sound like just another internet joke, this trend reflects deeper questions about how we measure personal growth and social status in the digital age
