    Karma was pointless. Nobody cared at all. Upvotes and downvotes are fine and useful to be able to see both. Karma is a worthless system and encourages spamming low-effort garbage memes and endless reposting of the same shit.

      It gave me a pointless feeling of pride and accomplishment. Which was exactly what I did not need.

      Getting downloaded here I can see that their sentiment against my point, but it doesn’t really piss me off. On Reddit I get angry and try to defend myself It was a really huge waste of time.

      The karma also added points from all the awards on reddit. So a troll comment with lots of awards received more karma points than the actual post with real good content.

        Near the end I had a bunch of coins, so I would find the most juvenile joke I could and give them gold or something, I enjoyed the thought that it could be their first gilded comment and it was a comment saying poop or something stupid like that.

      NGL for me atleast it was a good system to sort out the low effert users by putting a minimum karma points

      Nobody cared at all

      The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.
