Karma was pointless. Nobody cared at all. Upvotes and downvotes are fine and useful to be able to see both. Karma is a worthless system and encourages spamming low-effort garbage memes and endless reposting of the same shit.

It gave me a pointless feeling of pride and accomplishment. Which was exactly what I did not need.

Getting downloaded here I can see that their sentiment against my point, but it doesn't really piss me off. On Reddit I get angry and try to defend myself It was a really huge waste of time.

NGL for me atleast it was a good system to sort out the low effert users by putting a minimum karma points

Nobody cared at all

The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.
