It's a genuine question, because I still check my comments and their scores. Big numbers make me feel good, small numbers make me feel bad. (Not losing any sleep over it or anything.) So I could still see people who make posts they know will get a lot of points being referred to as "farming karma." The same way you might accuse someone of "fishing for compliments" on social media. If that makes sense.

Out of curiosity, how many years ago did you first start using reddit?

I'm wondering if this difference in perspective is based in what year someone joined reddit. Like an older redditor vs newer redditor thing? Maybe?

I started using Reddit in 2014.

Hmm, thats hardly different from me. Guess it's not that lol

I think I just view the points in general as karma. Idk. I realize I'm the outlier because so many people keep saying "don't add karma" lol.
