I honestly think that reddit would be better if they killed karma, or at least killed displaying it to the users. The obsession over it dominates the site with people posting cheap shit to get more of it, other people shitposting to see how far negative they can go, people complaining that one thing got karma while another thing did not, etc.




Quite a few subreddits do this, either permanently or time-delayed (i.e., no comment scores visible for some time t after posting).
