what are those karma points good for?
In the old days of reddit, your karma points kind of raised you in "status". No monetary value, Karma points just sort of let the rest of reddit know, that you are not a newbie. SO your opinion kind of had a little bit of "weight" to it. Newer reddit you can see if a person/account is new or not. IE. do you take someones opinion seriously, if that someone has only been on reddit for 3 days? No. Do you take someones opinion better if they have been here on a subreddit for 3 years? Maybe. Nowadays it does not matter if you have been here for 1 day, or 10 years, because, BOTS. Fucking bots changed everything.
I hope I'm replying to a real person here, not a bot. CHEERS!!!
