I can't imagine a world where anyone would care about their Reddit account karma. I periodically destroy any Reddit account I have to use as a matter of online hygiene.
(and yes, I destroyed the account I did an AMA on a while back as well.)
- skinnymuch 8y agoCome on. You have to know some people care about their karma. Reddit being one of the biggest sites in the world makes that fraction of people quite a large number.
- codinghorror 8y agoI wouldn't say I care about it on HN but it is a site topic (programming) that is relevant to my career, so it aligns with my interests. Reddit is just.. irrelevant.. to basically everything. It's fine for entertainment at best.
- earenndil 8y agoPlenty of people care about karma -- if they didn't, then reddit would have removed it. Unrelated, but I really like your blog[1]! It's one of the few I read. 1: https://blog.codinghorror.com/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/ (for the people that don't know it).
