  • I would imagine if you made karma points limited on the spender side rather than unlimited, then it might make users “try harder” to get validation, thus improving the quality of content on average.

    Or it all could be bullshit and fail. Hard to say. You are right though, it’s all manufactured for engagement.

  • I think the only way to really fix this is to make votes a limited asset that accounts have. There are forums where this has worked okay: bodybuilding.com forums has a reputation system where accounts are limited in what they can give to other voters.

    As long as “karma” is unlimited it suffers from the same problems whether you count it in aggregate or not. As some other commenters have said, people still seek validation in individual comments. I know because I do too.

  • Interestingly i followed up on the prompt and it was self aware enough to say it was stupid to flag it, but that it was something in its backend flagging “balancing” as the problem prompt

  • I have ad blocker. I don’t comment. I don’t post. I only downvote. I only view my home feed. I only do all this on PC, and URL-blocked Reddit off my phone, significantly reducing the time I have to search.

    But sometimes I just need to have the content there. I think I’ve done about the best I can considering.
