I've been active on Stack Overflow for more than a couple of years, and now have my Python gold badge and am in the top 0.1% of all time by reputation, and consistently in the top 100 (.05%) for recent measures by month/quarter/year, and they say I've reached about 150 million people.

I'm now an elected moderator on Stack Overflow, and I try to consistently do the right thing for all users.
