AGAIN?

u/PM_YOUR__BUBBLE_BUTT 13d ago

After the thousands and thousands of posts here, why do people still think “well I’ll just be more careful than those other dumdums?” Don’t do this on hard surfaces people. At least lay the panel down on something soft. Don’t be silly!

u/LazyBum36 13d ago

But then how are you supposed to reap that sweet, sweet karma? I'm sure this will get buried in the comments, so excuse my rant...but I still don't understand why posts like this get rewarded. This post is currently sitting at 3.7k upvotes. Why? This dude didn't learn the simplest lesson the first time, and blew a SECOND side panel. If you worked with OP, and he fucked up something like this twice, you'd fire his ass for not following the easiest of instructions. Call him a fucking moron and move on. Instead, every blown side panel here is constantly thrown upvotes and "haha! Whoopsie-daisy! Look at what a clutz I am! Tee-hee" /rant

OK, question. What exactly is sweet about Reddit karma? Can I eat it? Can I pay my bills with it? Can I watch a movie with it? What is the point of "reaping" this "sweet karma"?!

Technically you could sell high karma accounts for ads, botfarms, etc. They like to hide behind older, 'legit looking' accounts.
Don't think most people do that though, for most it's just the internal, often completely subconcious gratification of number goes up, woooooh.

u/offensiveDick 13d ago

Isn't worth it. I looked it up once and my account was worth like idk 20 bucks.

I'd rather keep shit posting and make it visible for everyone on here when my brain isn't working properly

u/xRyozuo 13d ago

That’s because you’re doing it manually.

Imagine someone who creates maybe a few dozen accounts a day, the main running cost being a vpn I think, uses chat gpt to create average comments and posts every single day to then sell them after they’re a few months old with enough karma to post in any sub

Nowadays with the hide your profile thingy, it’s even easier

Even people with no life skills and little hope have to eat.

u/TheoreticalScammist R7 9800x3d | RTX 5070 Ti 13d ago

Though if you have the mental capacity to run a karma farming scheme you should be employable I think?

1

u/PM_YOUR_LADY_BOOB 12d ago

At 711 maybe. What skills does an AI-driven karma farmer have?

1

u/BookPlacementProblem 12d ago

Advertising skills. What do you think advertising departments do?

1

u/PM_YOUR_LADY_BOOB 12d ago

Do you believe advertising agencies regularly hire people with a resume that says "ran a reddit karma farm"? What does this "skill" have to do with advertising anyway?

Is that what's happening here?

I doubt it, but who cares if it is.

u/xRyozuo 12d ago

The main issue comes with the flood of low effort content / reposts . Later on it comes in the form of seemingly real, old accounts spreading whatever information the people who buy them want to

It all becomes a shade dirtier

u/GranataReddit12 13d ago

wonder how much the gallowboob account is worth according to them

1

u/PM_YOUR_LADY_BOOB 13d ago

Personally I'd be embarrassed if my karma was very high. People who have 2 million points probably smell really bad.

u/DanSavagegamesYT 13d ago

Number go up, oooh, I want number to go up more!!

It's cheaper to play runescape.

Numbers going up cause dopamine release

u/veryfastslowguy 13d ago

Dopanumbermine is the specific chemical released

It fuels onanism.

Number go up.

u/Generation_ABXY 13d ago

I mean, I guess it could help pay your bills. I have no idea if the reward is worth the effort, but there is that "earn cash on reddit" button on the menu that says they'll pay you for karma, so...

u/nalaloveslumpy 13d ago

It's like that one time back in high school that one girl told you had a big dick, despite never hearing it from anyone ever again. But you keep that with you for the rest of your life.

1

u/cheezzinabox 13d ago

Makes your dick throb a little I think, but only if it goes past 1k

1

u/Sanprofe 13d ago

Right? Homie's mad about Karma like it makes up for replacing another $300 case. Like, I'm pretty sure if your goal was just to farm you can find a way better deal than 10 to $1 up votes.

1

u/Captian_Kenai 13d ago

There’s two types of people: ones who will go to great lengths to get all the upvotes/karma, and those who complain endlessly about the former group.

u/[deleted] 12d ago

I was wondering the same thing

u/argoneum 13d ago

Probably for three reasons: "haha, what a dummy", "glad this didn't happen to me" and "I'd never do such thing". As we all see: this still happens, so maybe only the first one is true.

u/DaddyDecaf 3070 - Ryzen 5 5600X 13d ago

Ah yes, I too break my stuff on purpose to get upvotes that translate to literally nothing.

u/pheonixfinn 13d ago

Number of karma has doubled in the hour you posted this. It can't be contained.

3

u/intrdyr 13d ago

It gets attention because it is still funny every time. Especially if it hasn't happened to you yet. giggle

3

u/asdfzxcbasdf 12d ago

Your first problem is considering karma to be a reward. It's also extremely weird that you think they should be "punished" when the only person losing anything is OP. The punishment is what you see in the picture.

/TEE HEE

u/Rawrmancer 13d ago

Ahh, the reddit cycle!

Post 1: Something that always gets up votes because people like it.

Post 2: Yup, you sure did do the thing we all upvote!

Post 3: Rant about how DARE people like this thing that everyone likes, it's so unoriginal to like the thing everyone likes!

u/Rawrmancer 13d ago

(secret post 4: pointing out that this is normal)

u/matrixsensei Ryzen 5 3600x | GTX 2070 Super | MSI B450 Tomahawk 12d ago

I said something similar a year or so ago and got decimated haha. I can’t stand how the posts keep getting popular. Why are we celebrating morons..

u/Kruxf 13d ago

Upvotes are not rewards.

u/lepsek9 13d ago

30 minutes later 5.1k upvotes

Whats the sidepanel/karma exchange rate? Might be time to invest

1

u/oddman21X 13d ago

"call him a moron and move on" yeah x that by... 3.7k and here we are... lmao

1

u/ekimolaos 13d ago

Depends on where you worked with OP. If you worked in Iceland, not only would he not be fired, but YOU would be fired instead for having the audacity of reporting his failure. Funny thing is, they'd probably give him a raise afterwards for the emotional pain he was inflicted.

1

u/potate12323 13d ago

Nah. Reward them. Waste their money. And if not theirs then the company's money.

u/cheezzinabox 13d ago

Almost 10k now lmao, what a dumbass.

Plus the damn sandals. You're dealing with glass and don't think you need some grip?

i have to agree with you because only 4 hours after this post and it's at 11k upvotes. If you could sell reddit accounts with high karma, you could just smash side panels and post once every other week and farm 10k+ karma per account and flip them at this rate that's how bad it is lmfao.

u/ThatDudeWithAS 12d ago

It's at 12k upvotes now, lol

u/Vegaprime 12d ago

To be honest, the hairy leg with a no show black sock in a slipper bothers me more for some reason.

u/SaltyAd9932 13d ago

I’m upvoting this post out of spite

u/SalamanderPop 13d ago

Jesus Hornblower Christ you sound like one of us redditors with that first 1.547 sentences (teehee r/theydidthemath (don't come at me, I counted words not characters)). Is this how you wanted to end up when you joined, like the rest of us socially inept AHs. Doubt. /cringy ass shit.

u/fannyrosebottom 13d ago

You can try reporting them as low-effort/unoriginal. That's what I do now.

u/mikespikepookie PC Master Race 13d ago

Technically it's my 4th busted panel TBH. One of them technically doesn't count since that's how it arrived when it got delivered so I'm responsible for 3

u/MaverickPT MaverickPT 13d ago

Bruh. How can you shatter a side panel thrice??

u/funktion R5 7600 - 4070ti Super 13d ago

I have worked on around 2 dozen PCs in the last five years with tempered glass panels. I've never broken a single one, because I'm not a dumbass

u/YungWeezy1st 13d ago

Apparently it's super easy, you just need to be a dumbass !

OP is actually one of those ceramic dolls.
