An upvote for YOU

[–]cobaltcollapse 2 points3 points ago

Adviceanimals totally go in r/funny

[–]MarauderV8 4 points5 points ago

Create something original and interesting, and it will happen. I've had an account here for a while, but mostly just lurked. Only recently did I actually start reading comments and such. I can't believe how many people actually give a shit about karma. It's like a popularity contest for nerds. It boggles my mind that this many people care about some random ass arbitrary number that means absolutely nothing. I don't get it.

[–]markandspark 1 point2 points ago

I've turned karma off, it's better that way.

[–]DarkerFate 4 points5 points ago

You, sir, have just informed me of something I did not know about. I shall go looking now.

[–]markandspark 0 points1 point ago

You can do it on RES and there's an add-on for chrome called goodbye karma.

[–]sexypanda915 1 point2 points ago

I think you mean "bottles".

[–]moto3500 1 point2 points ago

[–]mesosorry 0 points1 point ago

[–]youamnorealsupersand 0 points1 point ago

I'll have you know I have 509 comment karma.

[–]thebornotaku 1 point2 points ago

Seriously. I was reading comments for another post the other day and some guy said something, and the OP responded with WELL AT LEAST I DON'T ONLY HAVE 7 LINK KARMA or some bs. like it matters.

[–]MrNicolasRienzo 3 points4 points ago

I'm at 96. Only 10 more posts until 100!!!

[–]briirox 5 points6 points ago

I know that feel bro. fistbump

[–]schmoo757 -1 points0 points ago

And an upvote for you as well!

[–]sharkd 0 points1 point ago

It took me forever to get my link karma to 1234. It's the only reason I haven't posted any links.

[–]liquidflux 0 points1 point ago

I've only been here 5 months and I have 114 link karma, but I have crap for comment karma which is at 33.

[–]MyGenerationIsWorse 0 points1 point ago

I don't know that feel.

[–]WheelyBob 0 points1 point ago

I like r/trees where everyone is awesome

[–]Lakers2416 0 points1 point ago

I got in in seven months

[–]_Wolfos 0 points1 point ago

I laughed, but then I realized... Then again, I never really submit much. Mostly to unpopular subreddits.

[–]little_gnora 0 points1 point ago

And I thought I was doing badly with my 1.3k. . .

[–]Dastrados 0 points1 point ago

[–]ninjaman27 0 points1 point ago

But you have 996 link karma and you've been on here for one year..

[–]--lolwutroflwaffle-- 1 point2 points ago

[–]datrothbart 0 points1 point ago

Seriously? 1000 karma? I guess the "no memes" rule doesn't apply anymore...

[–]illmatix 0 points1 point ago

[–]yti555 0 points1 point ago

It only took me about 3 months 2 get 5000

[–]burntorangeboy 0 points1 point ago

I recently submitted a text link and it got seventy upvotes, yet my karma remained unchanged. Not sure if that is typical or some weird glitch

[–]CraftyCaprid 0 points1 point ago

Post in r/mylittlepony I got 48 karma in one crappy post.

[–]UncleGooch 2 points3 points ago

If anyone is looking to raise their karma, I have learnt some important things about what type of comments people will upvote in my short time here, so pick what type is best for you and go for it:

  • Humour: People like laughing, so what you need to do is look at a post and think of the first funny thing that comes to mind and type it, but don't enter it. Read over it once and see if it makes sense, and that it is all correct. If you can't think of anything funny straight away, take a few seconds to come up with something, but if you can't, leave it for now and maybe come back later. Most of my highest comments were thoughts I had immediately after seeing a post.

  • Advice: Only give advice if you have experienced something similar to what the OP is experiencing. In rare cases you may have never experienced what the OP is going through, but may still be able to help them. Be clear with what they need to do, and try not to assume anything or jump to conclusions.

  • Helpful content: If the post may be in need of context for some people, adding a link or description of what the post is, is very helpful, but as long as you don't attack the OP for assuming everyone understands the post.

  • Stories: Generally on AskReddit these comments will be most approprite, but you may see a chance in another subreddit for a personal story. If you are posting a story, be clear without being overly-specific, and only talk about relevant details. If the post is long, a TL;DR is a good addition, but make sure to put it at the end of the post, don't spoil the story before you have even said it.

[–]Pointy130 1 point2 points ago

As far as comment karma goes, just go to a thread with whatever's on your mind after reading the post. There's no secret, just post what you think and respond to other people's comments and it'll happen over time. Don't think "This will surely get upvoted" or "I'm not going to get any karma from this" as from my experience, the comments with the most upvotes tend to be the ones you'd never expect.

Also don't be a douche.

And to anyone wondering about why I care about karma: It's less of an "OMG NEED BIGGER NUMBERS = MOAR POPULAR" ordeal and more about the fact that I enjoy making people happy in one way or another, be it providing useful information or just making someone chuckle. When one of my posts gets a bunch of upvotes I feel like I've probably made a few people's days a tiny bit brighter.

If you doubt my sources feel free to look through my submissions. I don't want to brag here.

[–]hansjens47 0 points1 point ago

also, just reply to one of the top comments. otherwise your comment will drown and no-one will ever have read it.

[–]chinkostu 0 points1 point ago

Stalk new posts in /r/funny for easy comment karma. Find a post that has a few hundred karma and few comments and say something funny and related.

As for link karma, OC and good timing!

[–]gmac1994 1 point2 points ago

i stopped when my karma reached exactly 69

[–]DragonTycoon 0 points1 point ago

How would this be "Tough Spongebob"? Also, how does this exact same caption get do many upvotes?

[–]I_hate_spongebob -2 points-1 points ago

Only people under 18 years old like spongebob. This community has been infested with kids over the last year. Holy shit, just stop already.

[–]MysteryMooseMan -1 points0 points ago

[–]Fvpm 2 points3 points ago

It's never a good idea to brag or even publicly talk about your karma...
