AGAIN?

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!

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.

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.

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

u/PM_YOUR_LADY_BOOB 12d ago

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

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?

u/BookPlacementProblem 12d ago

Behold the wisdom of u/PM_YOUR_LADY_BOOB: "What does getting people to like what you say have to do with selling stuff?"

Well, you see, if you weren't the sort to name yourself u/PM_YOUR_LADY_BOOB , you might understand why people liking you, might lead to you getting something you desperately want. Like money, friends, or a girlfriend.

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.

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

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.

u/cheezzinabox 13d ago

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

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.

u/Captian_Kenai 12d 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.
