Did Karma really matter that much in Reddit? (geddit.social)

Honestly, nobody even looks at other people's Karma. I didn't care much about it. Did people really care so much baout Karma that they mourn about it here, or miss it, or used to farm it?

Sorry if the tone sounds judgemental, but I'm just wondering.

It was important enough for karma-farming bots to exist for some reason, I dunno. I'm glad it's not really a thing here, it was especially frustrating to see the occasional innocuous comment be downvoted for some inexplicable reason.

It's to get around thresholds.

The bot accounts were mostly about to be sold on third party websites or used for scams.

Ah, yeah, forgot about that. So yeah, karma matters to some people very much.
