MODERATORS
Karma was pointless. Nobody cared at all. Upvotes and downvotes are fine and useful to be able to see both. Karma is a worthless system and encourages spamming low-effort garbage memes and endless reposting of the same shit.
It gave me a pointless feeling of pride and accomplishment. Which was exactly what I did not need.
Getting downloaded here I can see that their sentiment against my point, but it doesn't really piss me off. On Reddit I get angry and try to defend myself It was a really huge waste of time.
wait, you can get downloaded here?
Turns out, I would download a person. Take that, record companies!
I wish someone would download me nyaaa ๐
Sometimes when I'm alone I download myself.
The karma also added points from all the awards on reddit. So a troll comment with lots of awards received more karma points than the actual post with real good content.
Near the end I had a bunch of coins, so I would find the most juvenile joke I could and give them gold or something, I enjoyed the thought that it could be their first gilded comment and it was a comment saying poop or something stupid like that.
NGL for me atleast it was a good system to sort out the low effert users by putting a minimum karma points
The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.
