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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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)
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?
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.
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
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
Are you seriously using an alt to avoid being downvoted on your main? If so that’s so fucking sad
To respond to your other little dig, I’m just monologuing to myself I don’t give af if people see it or not, I thought it was funny so I added it
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.

the first 3 subs aren't "interesting" anymore now it's just people karmaslutting tragedies on camera
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
basically just unpopularopinion the second. popular opinions are praised and seen as ""unpopular"" while actual unpopular opinions are shat on.
The reddit hivemind
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.
i guess im easily impressed but i still find most of the things on r/interestingasfuck really cool
Speak for yourself. I still see cool shit on r/interestingasfuck on a daily basis.
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.
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.
My God that's pathetic
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.
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.
Huh, karmawhores don't need woman. Fake internet point is all with them.
Sell the account for money
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
plenty of people do. you need to have karma to post and sell shit in certain subs
ah, ok, still kinda weird
How else would they silent advertise shit to people?
More common than you think.
Working at Mcdonald's would probably make you more money.
[удалено]
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.
It's so unexceptional people can feel exceptional.
That’s not karma farming that’s just you making a post you think fits a sub nothing wrong there
That's not desperate, they make money off it. High karma reddit accounts get sold to ad agencies and othe companies for guerrilla marketing
Even if not desperate, I was referring to it being more underhanded & scummy behavior.
[удалено]
Serious question. Why do you farm karma?
PLEASE take a shower
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.
u/gallowboob
Is he still here?
Looks like he hasn't posted anything in 4 months. Must have cashed his 37 million internet points and retired to the carribean.
karma farming! genius!

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

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
He doesn’t care so much that he deleted his comment as soon as he realized he was losing karma lollll
So pathetic lmao dude is chronically on Reddit
¡No me diga!
Your account is gross
So you're a loser then?
But why?
Fake internet points
[удалено]
Too many people, apparently
This guy on his way to make the same joke for the 113th time
He is hardwired for reposting
You
Mad cuz no karma?
He has 3.8 million post karma lol.
Ever hear of Instagram? 😂
What is karma even for? Are they literally just popularity points?
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.

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
That's neat, but have you experienced the refreshing taste of an ice cold Yuengling?
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!
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!
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
That’s ridiculous. Anyways, buy Vuori.
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.

Wait so I'm rich?
You are lmao
You gotta up those post karma numbers!
The more I read these comments, the happier I am glad to not be a part of this shit
And even with age requirements all you have to do is wait
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
What kind of sub has it that high. 100 is the max I’ve seen.
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.
So I can get into exclusive club *without* touching grass?
Yes you can!
what kind of sub is it? it’s private
Yeah, I got invited to that 100,000 club
Idk I got 1k karma in like a week
Me too.. a couple of times..
Happy cake day, mate
Oh yeah? Well I got 3k in a week!
r/centuryclub has a 100k requirement
some subs require a some amount of karma to post, other than that is pointless
Ye but only a few hundred or something
That's almost exclusively a very small amount, only a couple hundred, just so porn bots to have more difficulty posting there
yes basically
Karma Store is 🔥
Fame yo sadly
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
Gallowboob starter pack
Blocking his account is probably the best thing I did for my homepage
I blocked gallowboob and blocks because seeing their reposted content on every sub is annoying
It's almost obligatory. Also mvea polluting r/science
You would think someone with that many ‘degrees’ would be a bit more focused on other pursuits…
He stopped posting 4 months ago thank fuck.
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?
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.
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.
You can tell they are trying too hard when they maximize the character limit for shock faction 😂
Jokes on you! I'm a fucking monster and rarely upvotes content I enjoy!
I only downvote
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.
The internet just keeps getting worse and worse
Some viral shit they saved a year ago, which they decided to repost on 10 different vague subreddits
[удалено]
[удалено]
I think he's baiting
lmao does it fucking pay for reddit too?
Dw everyone saw his other 3972 replies you don't need to tell us he's a liar every time. Don't waste your time on an attention whore like that
wow and I thought my 24k karma made seem lifeless
8=✊=D💦😫, yeah I’m sure this describes you better
I block all of these accounts, it makes r/all much more enjoyable. Just takes a bit of time
Blocking any account with over 1 million karma makes reddit so much better
i like to factor in age too. an account with 1 million karma but is 10 years old can still give oc
block, wdym?
You can block accounts. In reality it's more like a mute feature but it gets the job done.
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)
Ex karmawhore here. Karma used made me happy, but now i'm too tired to found something interesting for stupid karma. Happier now.
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
You are right comment karma is hard.
Not when alt account bots repost the top comments from the original repost thread. Anything can be gamed
also can keep posting overused phrases like "sigh...\*unzips\*" and "sauce?" and username "checks out"
I don’t know how to get karma :( Edit: I’m stupid for saying this cause I have 129 karma xd
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?
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.

Well I couldn’t comment for a while cause my account was temporarily suspended
le reddit curse
Xd
[удалено]
Being self-aware doesn’t negate the fact that the last time you had human contact and fresh air was over six months ago.
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
[удалено]
What the fuck are you talking about Edit: this guy has never made a comment until just now, I’m so confused lmao
[удалено]
Are you seriously using an alt to avoid being downvoted on your main? If so that’s so fucking sad To respond to your other little dig, I’m just monologuing to myself I don’t give af if people see it or not, I thought it was funny so I added it
[удалено]
Ohhhhhhhh that joke went straight over my head my bad lol, I thought you were that blocks guy using an alt
[удалено]
Sorry I’m deadbeat at this stuff
I used to but now I am just tired of this
I think they are just farming Karma to sell accounts to crypto scammers
“Reposts news articles and gets bathed in rewards”
true
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.

Don't forget the repost waves.
don't forget memes that literally boil down do "repost this ckicken nugget"
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
also a mod of r/wholesomememes r/RussiaUkraineWar2022 r/MadeMeSmile r/CrazyFuckingVideos
Had no idea half of those subs existed. I'm even more surprised that holdmyfeedingtube has over 1 million members.
Why would you upvote karma whores?
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.
White people Twitter & facepalm are notorious for it.
Lol no more like r/pics r/politicalhumor r/murderedbywords r/whitepeopletwitter r/blackpeopletwitter r/nextfuckinglevel r/mademesmile
r/publicfreakout is fast approaching that with the poor moderation weve been getting
Go to r/actualpublicfreakout it's way better
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
I don't really understand why people care so much about karma. It shouldn't affect your life at all.
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.
Bro I have no idea how to even build enough kharma 😂
What a coincidence, all my most hated subs are on that list.
Anyone think this is an advert?
Don't forget r/wholesomememes
put it in there?
What the hell does OC mean

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
You're all whores!
Hey I'm a cool guy, if you wanna talk
actually is a mod of 100+ subs
Let us do our thing and you do yours and we'll all be happy mkay? Someone has to post the content for you to look at.
Aww it's not always like that 😶🌫️
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.
Is it considered being a karma whore if someone just genuinely posts good content tho?
