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.

Karma (especially comment karma) is useful to indicate someone makes positive contributions, but once you’re above a few hundred it doesn’t really make a difference. I do wonder if it makes Reddit worse though, because it incentivises low effort comments and content to get easy karma.

A few times I had people make a negative comment about my comment karma showing I was online too much.

Which was true but it did make me selfconscious and switch to an alt half the time.
