Bro I've never for a second thought that gallowboob had any credibility whatsoever and the motherfucker had like, all the KARMA

You’re completely missing my point. I’m not saying you should worship the guy, but he has more credibility than a troll with negative karma or a 3 month old tshirt bot with a few hundred karma from plagiarized comments.

Both those cases have 0 credibility from any sensible person as they are functionally equivalent

Hi I'm necrocommenting this old comment, sorry.

You're conflating post karma and comment karma. Post karma is shit and almost everyone on reddit with super high post karma is awful. Comment karma however is often a decent measure of credibility. The problem is people conflate the two, or worse, inappropriately value post karma over comment karma.
