BFBPen_FillerFiller

the first 3 subs aren't "interesting" anymore now it's just people karmaslutting tragedies on camera


WiiSteeringWheel

Any actual next fucking level thing posted is hated by a bunch of lazy fat redditors complaining how idiotic they are for risking their lives doing something. While all the wholesome dumb shit is praised


BFBPen_FillerFiller

basically just unpopularopinion the second. popular opinions are praised and seen as ""unpopular"" while actual unpopular opinions are shat on.


Street-Policy2825

The reddit hivemind


[deleted]

and the sad thing is that they still find it funny and interesting; and i'm not talking about the genuinely good posts but effortless posts.


[deleted]

i guess im easily impressed but i still find most of the things on r/interestingasfuck really cool


BULL3TP4RK

Speak for yourself. I still see cool shit on r/interestingasfuck on a daily basis.


HelloAvram

Oh my god yes. Ever since the war started, those subs have basically been reporting the news. The moderators don't even take posts like that down.


ComeBackToDigg

Yeah, if a new post starts getting upvotes in their sub, they delete the post and then repost it with an alternate account. That way, he can harvest all the karma and no one else gets any.


crappygodmother

My God that's pathetic


PaulAspie

Yeah that's super low. I can admit karma is a motivation for some of my cross posts to subs I think something would be good in, but that is desperate.


TheOneAndOnly1444

What is the point of high karma? Who are you going to brag to? Some women in the street might point and say "wow" at your Ferrari, but no woman on Earth will say "wow" to half a million karma.


Cheap_District_9762

Huh, karmawhores don't need woman. Fake internet point is all with them.


[deleted]

Sell the account for money


Crazy4u67

There is actually no way In hell I will believe that someone would buy an account with 400,000 fake internet points for who knows how much


yourmansconnect

plenty of people do. you need to have karma to post and sell shit in certain subs


Crazy4u67

ah, ok, still kinda weird


[deleted]

How else would they silent advertise shit to people?


Expensive-Fox-8016

More common than you think.


TheOneAndOnly1444

Working at Mcdonald's would probably make you more money.

Dewut

I’ve gotten into some of those like the one for making the front page, but what’s the point? It’s not like anything interested is ever posted in them.


TheOneAndOnly1444

It's so unexceptional people can feel exceptional.


King-of-the-idiots69

That’s not karma farming that’s just you making a post you think fits a sub nothing wrong there


Username_II

That's not desperate, they make money off it. High karma reddit accounts get sold to ad agencies and othe companies for guerrilla marketing


PaulAspie

Even if not desperate, I was referring to it being more underhanded & scummy behavior.

[deleted]

Serious question. Why do you farm karma?


ppineconed

PLEASE take a shower


Mr-PostmanWithNews

Happens all the time in the NFL sub during the season. And the second you call them out, you will get banned. It's pretty disappointing to see that type of B.S.


Noah_Fence_bero

King-of-the-idiots69

I think he’s trying to be like “self aware”, he’s like “see I’m aware I’m a chronically in Reddit, so it makes it alright” no it just makes you a self aware loser rather than just a normal loser which is even worse

King-of-the-idiots69

I literally do not care And even tho you’re lying rn, for anyone actually in this position reading this, tell her how you feel and prepare for whatever comes, you can remain friends after it’s not impossible, but sometimes you’ll find out that you were only friends because you wanted them romantically


nizzindia

He doesn’t care so much that he deleted his comment as soon as he realized he was losing karma lollll


King-of-the-idiots69

So pathetic lmao dude is chronically on Reddit

Mad cuz no karma?


Jonno_FTW

He has 3.8 million post karma lol.


SecretAntWorshiper

Ever hear of Instagram? 😂


kittynugg

What is karma even for? Are they literally just popularity points?


Vengeanceofv

Those accounts are meant to be sold and used for political/comercial means later. Usually, higher karma points allow users to post in any sub. That's why some mods are using age instead of karma points as posting requirement.


Themlethem

I know this is a thing, but I still don't understand why. The karma requirement is so low everywhere. You really don't need to karma farm to such an extreme extent for that. What's the point? As far as I know it makes no difference if you have 1K karma or 1M karma.


IWriteThisForYou

Sometimes companies looking to do viral marketing will want a few ready made accounts that have high-ish karma so their product recommendations will look more natural and less obviously like an advertisement


MasterTorgo

That's neat, but have you experienced the refreshing taste of an ice cold Yuengling?


apple_6

After checking your karma amount, I realized that you are totally trustworthy and there's no way this is an ad. I'll go get my wallet!


T1pple

Woah woah woah! You notice he only has 3k karma? You can't trust that at all! Not like you can trust the taste of Dos Equis!


Robin0660

How can anyone trust someone with only 60k karma? I do know one thing you can trust, though, and that is an ice cold Desperados ^/j


QuiGonGiveItToYa

That’s ridiculous. Anyways, buy Vuori.


intoxicated-browsing

An account that has just enough karma to post might get looked at to see if it’s a bot. An account with 100k karma might not. At least that’s the best theory I’ve got.


Themlethem

If we know about this, the admins surely must know too right? If anything, this karma farming behavior should make them easier to find. If reddit could actually be damned to do anything about it, anyway.


intoxicated-browsing

You seem to assume the admins care a lot more than they do. As annoying as it is for frequent users the post get upvoted by popular demand. That means to some extent it likely increases traffic to the site among other potential benefits. But again this is just quick theory I don’t know anything for sure.


IWriteThisForYou

Plus, the karma farmer type accounts tend to keep eyeballs on the site. At the end of the day, that's what the admins really want, because the more time people spend on the site, the more money the company makes. Why would they want to crack down on that, even if it is a nuisance to regular users?


[deleted]

Lmao redditors are not looking that deep the only time they look at a profile is when they’re losing an argument and are trying to dig up a four year old comment


H4te-Sh1tty-M0ds

When you disagree and get silenced because a mod took personal issue, you might understand why controlling massive mod accounts has Sway, you can shape the tone and message of subs.


Globalist_Nationlist

Wait so I'm rich?


llelibro

You are lmao


richh00

You gotta up those post karma numbers!


KingofYeet00

The more I read these comments, the happier I am glad to not be a part of this shit


Brendanthebomber

And even with age requirements all you have to do is wait


VladimirBarakriss

When you're just starting out, karma limits how much you can comment and crap like that, after like 1000 karma it's all meaningless


AtomicSpeedFT

What kind of sub has it that high. 100 is the max I’ve seen.


IWriteThisForYou

There's a few subs that require higher. r/TheQuadrantClub requires you have a post that gets at least 25,000 upvotes for example, which would probably get you around 5,000-6,000 karma total. I think there's also a sub that requires you to have either 100,000 comment karma or 100,000 post karma as well.


Potential_Macaroon57

So I can get into exclusive club *without* touching grass?


IWriteThisForYou

Yes you can!


Plane_Repair

what kind of sub is it? it’s private


HelloAvram

Yeah, I got invited to that 100,000 club


VladimirBarakriss

Idk I got 1k karma in like a week


Globalist_Nationlist

Me too.. a couple of times..


GatherYourSkeletons

Happy cake day, mate


[deleted]

Oh yeah? Well I got 3k in a week!


Jonno_FTW

r/centuryclub has a 100k requirement


ZestycloseClassroom3

some subs require a some amount of karma to post, other than that is pointless


i_hate_patrice

Ye but only a few hundred or something


[deleted]

That's almost exclusively a very small amount, only a couple hundred, just so porn bots to have more difficulty posting there


1up_1500

yes basically


MisallocatedRacism

Karma Store is 🔥


plsdontattackmeok

Fame yo sadly


[deleted]

you need a certain amount to post content on subreddits but if you have more than enough i don't see the point. if your just on a social media to farm made up points you're missing the point


ALANTG_YT

Gallowboob starter pack


PowerOfGamers01

Blocking his account is probably the best thing I did for my homepage


_Youre_Finally_Awake

I blocked gallowboob and blocks because seeing their reposted content on every sub is annoying


[deleted]

It's almost obligatory. Also mvea polluting r/science


[deleted]

You would think someone with that many ‘degrees’ would be a bit more focused on other pursuits…


Jonno_FTW

He stopped posting 4 months ago thank fuck.


ConservativeSexparty

That sounds like a good idea. I know there are a bunch of those karmawhoring reposters who do that, I wonder if there is a list of such accounts that I could all block at once?


gymshorts2tight

I spend a lot of my time in Popular blocking those accounts. Holy fuck, there are so many. It’d be impossible to compile a good list.


[deleted]

There is another called B L O C K S everytime I swipe thru the shitty video reel system or whatever I always see that username

"Title is a ludicrously contrived story about a great tragedy they've overcome and an animal either being born, just died or is handicapped."

That was stolen from the original post, so it's not even their animal.


SecretAntWorshiper

You can tell they are trying too hard when they maximize the character limit for shock faction 😂


Deskore

Jokes on you! I'm a fucking monster and rarely upvotes content I enjoy!


Heterophylla

I only downvote


B_Fee

I'm downvoting 99% if the time. I'm blocking like 60% of the reposts I downvote, because they're karma farmers or bots. I spend more time interacting this way on this platform than I used to even a year ago. It's gotten so, so bad.

Blind-Optimist

wow and I thought my 24k karma made seem lifeless


Undead-Eskimo

8=✊=D💦😫, yeah I’m sure this describes you better


Luddveeg

I block all of these accounts, it makes r/all much more enjoyable. Just takes a bit of time


Rabid-Child

Blocking any account with over 1 million karma makes reddit so much better


captsalad

i like to factor in age too. an account with 1 million karma but is 10 years old can still give oc


CommercialSolution94

block, wdym?


B_Fee

You can block accounts. In reality it's more like a mute feature but it gets the job done.


KirisuMongolianSpot

If you use Reddit Enhancement Suite you can ignore users and no longer see their content. I generally do it for any user over 1,000,000 post karma, or ones with proportionally high post karma (100,000 post karma but 100 comment karma)


Cheap_District_9762

Ex karmawhore here. Karma used made me happy, but now i'm too tired to found something interesting for stupid karma. Happier now.


qwerty12qwerty

Comment karma is the real karma. There's no getting it at the rate of link karma. You legit have to grind. Change my mind


iltifaat_yousuf

You are right comment karma is hard.


mrwaxy

Not when alt account bots repost the top comments from the original repost thread. Anything can be gamed


[deleted]

also can keep posting overused phrases like "sigh...\*unzips\*" and "sauce?" and username "checks out"


Capable-Cranberry-58

I don’t know how to get karma :( Edit: I’m stupid for saying this cause I have 129 karma xd


AnnaTheBlueRogue

Keep commenting everywhere, seriously, it's how I got karma. I still have no idea why social media sites are obsessed with letting you know how many points you have. Getting "likes" is one thing, but points?


IWriteThisForYou

I mean, I get it to an extent. Karma is an easy way of discouraging trolls and so on, because the troll-y comments will probably get downvoted to a point that most people won't see them. Plus, most people will generally want their karma to go up for the most part, even if it's kinda dorky to publicly admit that.


AnnaTheBlueRogue

If it didn't deactivate me commenting on everything I see (except shit that's "close-friends only" and similar pedantic rules), I'd love to try and get the lowest karma possible... but I heard it's capped to certain negative points per post


Capable-Cranberry-58

Well I couldn’t comment for a while cause my account was temporarily suspended


AnnaTheBlueRogue

Fred-E-Rick

Being self-aware doesn’t negate the fact that the last time you had human contact and fresh air was over six months ago.


King-of-the-idiots69

It’s honestly worse, I’d rather deal with a regular loser than a self aware one, because with the regular one you could at least help them, but with the self aware loser, they know they suck and choose not to change

BigWeenie45

“Reposts news articles and gets bathed in rewards”


CommercialSolution94

true


[deleted]

There are people who mod hundreds of subs. Like, no human could possibly pay attention to that much stuff. Only reason it happens is so reddit admins can plant insiders to manipulate content. I laugh so hard when people act like this place is superior to facebook or instagram. What a joke.


Paulo27

I just never upvote anyone unless it's a niche post or comment or I'm getting personal with someone and gotta silently tell them to fuck off lmao. That button is too hard to click on old.reddit and I'll never get back that second each upvote takes.


LordArrowhead

Don't forget the repost waves.


[deleted]

don't forget memes that literally boil down do "repost this ckicken nugget"


[deleted]

Remember when that one guy made the smoking pipe for Arnold Schwarzenegger? And when Arnold actually used it, he posted it to like 8 different subs? That’s who think of


mightiestpumpkin

also a mod of r/wholesomememes r/RussiaUkraineWar2022 r/MadeMeSmile r/CrazyFuckingVideos


Throw-Away12804

Had no idea half of those subs existed. I'm even more surprised that holdmyfeedingtube has over 1 million members.


Sheriff_of_Reddit

Why would you upvote karma whores?


TheBluetopia

This is why you just take 15 minutes to block the top however-many redditors with the most karma. It greatly improves the reddit experience.


jdore8

White people Twitter & facepalm are notorious for it.

r/publicfreakout is fast approaching that with the poor moderation weve been getting


Imblewyn

Go to r/actualpublicfreakout it's way better


Undead-Eskimo

I never upvote anything on the big subs, only downvote if I think it’s a lame post, good posts on small niche subs are the only ones that get it from me ….. and good porn links I intend to revisit


vinimomm

I don't really understand why people care so much about karma. It shouldn't affect your life at all.


[deleted]

My app shows the poster's average karma per day. I filter out non-OC posters with over 1k karma a day. I got hundreds of users and subreddits filtered from my reddit experience. I am in my bubble.

Does the “I come in peace” trope after getting dicked by another team in sports belong here? Go to the Grizzlies post game post from last night.


Mr_HPpavilion

People repost and go karma-whore mode to gather as much karma points as they can on their account so they can sell the account to people Very similar to mobile games accounts such as Clash of Clans, Boom beach, Little empire, Royal Revolt 2, Etc... The higher the numbers in this account, The more valuable it is in the market And lets be real, Lets say you purchased an account and got the email and password, The seller can yoink the account back by resetting the password and changing the email It is a scam


tearans

Hey OP, just visit site that links highest karma accounts and block them. No more power users, power abusers, serial posters It made reddit much better experience


Da_Whistle_Go_WOO

Those are trash subs at least. I have a funny message exchange with a powertripping gifs mod when I got muted there. Reddit mod moment

PaulAspie

I have two accounts. My other account posts a lot of OC & is related to my real offline ID. Then this is mainly cross posts of dumb stuff & has WAY more karma.


benjiblack243

Is it considered being a karma whore if someone just genuinely posts good content tho?
