I need to read about Karma. I have zero clue how it works. 😬👀

u/Four-Triangles 5d ago

No you don’t. It’s 100% arbitrary anyway. Ignore it.

I love karma farming accusations. WTF does karma even do for your average singular Reddit user?😂

u/Four-Triangles 5d ago

You didn’t get your “I’m Reddit Famous” t shirt?

u/Reimiro 5d ago

It gave me an invitation to access the Reddit IPO where I actually made a bunch of money but other than that it’s useless.

u/Solid_Pension6888 5d ago

Well, that’s something

12

u/DebbieGlez 5d ago

Nah, I got it too. I thought it was something trying to make me give them money so I paid it no attention.

u/SurvivorX2 5d ago

What is an IPO?

u/tdc012 5d ago

Initial Public Offering

u/nobutsmeow99 5d ago

What now?

u/mrszubris 5d ago

Stock options. I got them too . I only have high karma because I'm a snarky ass.

3

u/Reimiro 4d ago

The stock opened at around $34 and now is at $60. I bought a lot of the stock at open and sold about half and kept about half. It’s been stable around $60 so far.

Very nice!👍🏻

Karma’s a bit*h

u/No_Long9749 5d ago

No, karma is my boyfriend

u/No_Calligrapher2640 4d ago

No, it's a cat.

u/Daedalhead 4d ago

C'mon. You know karma is a chameleon.

2

u/FarVisual2255 4d ago

Ooo!!! Hadn’t thought of that. Next cat will be named Karma!!!!

u/RainbowNarwhal13 4d ago

I knew someone once who had three cats named Kismet, Karma, and Fate :P

I've heard that!

u/JorytheGreat 4d ago

I shoulda known better

u/TheBungoStrays 4d ago

My kink is karma

u/G_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 5d ago

It can revoke your ability to post.

On my 50m karma account I used to get advertisements from influencers wanting me to reply to certain accounts and continue comment chains going to support products as if it was naturally occurring Reddit conversation.

2

u/omgwtflols 5d ago

I heart your user name

1

u/G_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 4d ago

They said, "don't use your real name as a username"

But rules were meant to be broken

u/FairLea17 5d ago

It makes me feel special.

1

u/nocturn99x 5d ago

People karma farm to sell accounts

2

u/Adventurous_Ad_6546 4d ago

I’m aware of that but it’s pretty niche, which is why I specified average singular Reddit user.

u/DifficultHeat1803 5d ago

Thank you. It won’t pay my bills. 😃

u/ELMangosto16 5d ago

It certainly won't buy your daughter a car!

u/Fit-Explorer2823 5d ago

Underrated comment

u/Steeze_Schralper6968 5d ago

It won't because OP is a bot lol. Go check his comment history

u/G-force4470 5d ago

Funny 😄

u/vitcorleone 5d ago

You wouldn’t download a car

u/Sorry-Donkey-4959 5d ago

I would if I could

u/Nopeahontas 5d ago

W comment lol

u/Four-Triangles 5d ago

I’m not on here all the time but I had a few weird things take off like a meme on the DunderMifflin subreddit and woken up to like +20k. It does nothing.

20

u/TheArtofZEM 5d ago

It is what is gonna get me a gf though!

7

u/Bob70533457973917 5d ago

But he has currently negative 100 comment karma.

21

u/TheArtofZEM 5d ago

Well, he ain’t getting none then. With my 17k, I have to beat them off with a stick!

12

u/quixotic_jackass 5d ago

Oof you’re at 15k now. Rip

13

u/Nopeahontas 5d ago

-He has to be at least 6”2

-Earning 8 figures

-Owns houses and cars

-Likes to cook and clean

-Has at least 17k karma

For me to even look at him

12

u/TheArtofZEM 5d ago

Comment only. 17k total. That extra 2k makes allllll the difference. “Imagine what I can do with 2k extra babe”

1

u/SurvivorX2 5d ago

Ya think?

1

u/MurphyPandorasLawBox 4d ago

That’s not entirely true. There are subs that have restrictions if a user has low or negative karma.

1

u/Four-Triangles 4d ago

You’re right. I’d forgotten. I got invited to a sub for accounts over 100K. Super lame.

1

u/MurphyPandorasLawBox 4d ago

100K? Jeez. I have more important things to do.

2

u/Four-Triangles 4d ago

Yeah, but then you post a throwaway meme or comment on a hot comment and get 15k in 12 hours. 90% of my karma is from like 10 comments.

17

u/simplyTrisha 5d ago

Me, either. I don’t understand it, flair, etc. I guess I’m a Reddit idiot. Lol

20

u/VyePuwahi 5d ago

Reddidiot

4

u/simplyTrisha 5d ago

Lol Yep! That would be me! 😀

4

u/Bloppee 5d ago

It’s like my tongues going over speed bumps trying to say that 😂😂😂

3

u/Financial_Store_9201 5d ago

So am I. Surprised they haven't kicked me off here.

3

u/simplyTrisha 5d ago

Oh God! If that happens, I’m sure I’d be the next to go since I don’t understand it all, either! Lol

1

u/SurvivorX2 5d ago

May I join the Reddit idiot group, too?

1

u/simplyTrisha 5d ago

Sure, new members are welcome! Lol

8

u/pm_me_tits_and_tats 5d ago

No one really knows how it works tbh

6

u/Cobalt7291 5d ago

But its provocative, gets the people going

5

u/Messaria 5d ago

Me too! I don’t understand why you have to do something to be allowed to comment in some places. It’s like being punished for not commenting often. Maybe you want to read and not participate but sometimes have something you really want to say but you can’t because of your karma? So confusing here. But please have her sister do something to help pay her back for her car. Work for you or do yard work. Something. My little sister broke something of value of mine and my parents did nothing and I resented her intensely. Please do what’s right to help both of them.

1

u/DokiDokiDead 4d ago

It's because every website is under a bot attack 24/7. It's for a sub to allow brand new accounts to post.

3

u/Financial_Store_9201 5d ago

I don't even know there's such a thing between Reddit and karma. How do I find out about it?

3

u/errr_lusto 5d ago

Me either

2

u/MyNinjaYouWhat 5d ago edited 5d ago

Nobody bothers to read a long comment so those usually get close to no interaction, no karma growth, no karma drop.

Other than that, pretty much downright random. Too many insane neckbeards and equally insane special snowflakes out here to predict anything.

But mind you, there’s an account for per-subreddit karma. You might have a good karma overall but get -1000 on this one sub and not be able to comment specifically on it

1

u/Bright_Party5806 5d ago

Yeah, new to this. Me either.

u/Emergency-Twist7136 5d ago

It doesn't do anything
