    Good riddance. The karma system on Reddit is worthless. It’s supposed to let users flag spam and bot content, but it’s used as an agree/disagree button in reality. Users still lose posting privileges from having low karma and have to farm it in “free upvotes” subreddits… which spammers and bots happily abuse.

      That was actually something I used to help decide if an account was a bot or not, but it was only a minor part of the puzzle.
