I see your strategy. Double comments to rack up those sweet sweet invisible comment points!

Are you telling me that the race for the first to 100 million achievement score means nothing??!1?2!?

At least there’s a rewards system for achievement score. I never got anything for all that sweet karma I got with my massive insights and funny quips.

That’s why I stopped being insightfully funny.

How the fuck am I supposed to evaluate my worth as a person without an arbitrary number assigned by internet strangers???

I wouldnt call it dumb overall. It definitely has good sides.

For example the karma race aka who posts a news first. That leads to communities being very up to date and discussion can happen very quickly.

Also it creates some incentive to post good comments, because its fun to know people value your opinion

But ofc there is also the other side that people post dumb memes and do reposts.

But acting like it has no worth at all is stupid as well imo

Agree that I personally found it a waste of time but I do wonder if having it encourages more people to post good/funny content more regularly. That said surely it’s the same thing really just having it per post rather than an overall score

It’s not real and doesn’t mean anything.

B-b-b-but! My e-peen! How else are people going to know that I did stuff?
