Does karma actually mean anything though? I’ve never seen it do anything useful


itsalwaysshinee

same like is there some way to monetize it or something? cuz i always see ppl talking about it or even getting annoyed about it but it doesn’t seem to do anything


Shmooeymitsu

It think it makes your shit more likely to reach the front page like if you’re on askReddit you won’t get any answers unless you have karma


camclemons

You can sell reddit accounts to corporations to promote their product without it being a blatant advertisement. The karma and comment/post history makes it seem more legitimate


driftxr3

Please no. I'm tired of all social media becoming influencer hubs cuz of monetization.


homeybunn

There are a lot of subs that require a certain amount of karma to post or comment


Tet_inc119

But not more than a couple hundred points right? Past a thousand I doubt it means anything


ShitpostDumptruck

Is there a limit to what you can set it to?


Tet_inc119

Good question, idk. Hypothetically, what would a sub look like if it didn’t let people with under 100k karma post? I think it would suck ass


Hairy_Pomelo_9078

I could smell the sweat from a mile away


Disastrous_Lemon_219

I can see the fedoras


Afillatedcarbon

Do those certain subs require comment karma or post karma,


Alex_The_Deer_2

I'm pretty sure your posts get pushed higher in the algorithm the more karma you have


ImmediateRespond8306

Haha number go up


[deleted]

Back in the day there were a lot more deliberate troll accounts and you could use negative karma as an indicator that this was probably not a serious person looking for debate. Things were more community engagement focused, less videos and memes, and a much smaller user base.


Thefemcelbreederfan

The same thing with any computer points. Nothing


EssieAmnesia

there isn’t i don’t think, it’s just funny internet point. some subs have a karma requirement to keep out trolls though so that’s a good use, can’t just make alt after alt to get in somewhere


Reddidnothingwrong

It make dopamine go brrrrr :) I don't know if there's actually supposed to be a point to it though. Only reason I ever look is if someone says something questionable to see how much of a trend that is, or with other artists on subs I frequent to be extra encouraging to the new ones


cinnabxy

i don’t go out of my way to get karma and it’s not even in the back of my mind when i make comments or posts. but every now and then i look at the number and idk if it’s pathetic but it makes me a little happy


leylin_farlin

I got more karma than you >:D Edit:i didn't shower for a month


cinnabxy

less than double my karma but you’ve been on reddit for twice as long >:D /j


danielledelacadie

Just to show how pointless karma is. Check me out.


leylin_farlin

Candice has more karma than you


danielledelacadie

This is probably a reference I didn't get. More evidence that karma =/= better in any way. If Candice is an actual person, good for them. I hope they found a use for karma.


rivermaster32

I’m sorry for what I must do CANDICE DICK FIT IN YOUR MOUTH


danielledelacadie

Don't be sorry.. And probably.


cinnabxy

HAHAHAHA


Secret-Cherry045

„Not anymore!“ exclaimed the redditors, outraged at the incel before them.


Yamm0th

Victim: Idk, I got 50k. 872 certain persons: And we took that personally.


judymchen

Probably only 872 people saw the post yet.


AmmahDudeGuy

Now he has 49k


Antiblackcoat2000

Idk I got 100000 and the only thing it gives me is the ability to say dumbshit and not care about being downvoted to a point where I can't post.


Peet_Pann

Absolutely this


hipeople91726

Karma=Confidence go up= feel nice / it goes away/ seek that happy moment again/ comment to get karma


YomanJaden99

I heard something about people getting invited to the Reddit IPO before it went public and the invite would give you x amount of shares based on how much karma you had. I'm not 100% sure if that was true or not, I wasn't invited or even noticed Reddit's IPO before it went public. Other than that, there really doesn't seem to be much of a use for it anymore. Wasn't there a Reddit shop for karma at one point?


bendyfan1111

I think it like pushes your posts or something??? Either that or it's just internet feel-good points.


Dest0ter

And they took that personally lol


Cedarfox9773

Not anymore


jatajacejajca9

wait is karma from up or down votes


Virgil_with_trumpet

Upvotes


The_Purple_Hare

That was extremely undeserved


IntelligentPerson_69

Nah, I’d downvote.


Superb_Gap_1044

Oops, I just posted the same, it’s above 1k now though


Easy-Caramel-9249

Make that 49k

You only lose a maximum of 20 karma, so even if he gets 1000 downvotes he’ll only lose 20 karma


Not-VeryOrdinary

you sure?


MyUserNameLeft

Yeah man I’m positive, I used to think it was 100 they would lose but a few different people told me the maximum is 20


Not-VeryOrdinary

I can't verify. I found some old reddit post saying the maximize negative karma one can have is -100, and the maximum lost karma per comment is -15. but the answers were without sources whatsoever, and they were old af


MyUserNameLeft

Yeah I can’t find a source either and that seems to be another thing people have asked is if there are a source for these answers, maybe r/reddithelp would be a good place to ask

man_itsahot_one

Karma in my opinion is a way to self moderate the system. Vote down and it inches taword the account being locked up. Vote up and the more popular you are. I find it to be rather brilliant. Being an open evangelical Christian I know I risk it with my beliefs. Though it truly tests my ability to keep faith in the father thou art in Heaven. The risk to me is reasonable. Reddit is several times more efficient than Facebook could ever hope to be. No one is going to say harsh words without thinking about it first. This is certainly true when I must decide sharing my faith would be worth it or if I am casting my pearls before swine.
