      when upvote, karma go up, when downvote karma go down, stupid system, downvotes are meant to represent disagreement, not always as something negative

        Ok but… Who cares? I’m not a youtuber trying to get upvotes and subscriptions for an algorithm so I can get more ad revenue, why would I care about my karma score?

          Many subreddits require up to 100 karma to post in them, so your first few weeks using Reddit would be a grind for karma until you reach a comfortable threshold.

        Down votes are for off topic discussion not disagreement. They’re specifically meant to not be used for disagreement.
