    Stuff like karma directly contributes to an environment where things are said and done for approval instead of genuine expression. I hope the new platforms don’t include anything like it.

      I roll my eyes pretty hard when I see someone with hundreds of thousands of karma on reddit.

      Like, I get it, you’re a whore who just posts whatever everyone wants to hear. You’re a puppet under control of the upvote button

        Hang on now, some of us just have that because we’re old as fuck and comment too much.

        Under 4 years and a hundred thousand though? Absolutely what you said.

          That’s where I was.

          My opinions weren’t particularly in line with the Reddit hive mind, but over the course of nearly a decade, I was closing on a half million karma.

          Not that it mattered, but I just commented a lot.
