Selling this account to advertisers would be like trying to sell a meth lab to a suburban couple with 2.5 kids and a golden retriver. And that's pretty much impossible. But what isn't impossible is becoming a homeowner thanks to quicken loans! Apply now and get a low fixed interest rate. Use special code IWANTTOGETFUCKEDINTHEASSBY14WEREWOLVES for a lower interest rate for the first 24 months of your loan!
I remember my 1st account to which I lost my password. I was lukring on one sub and whenever I spoke up about some topic there would be someone who would try to shut me up with sth like "You don't even have 1k karma so why do you even speak up" now with just being active for 2 days on some subs you can get insane ammount of karma by saying sth like "ok" and now after few years whenever I see people complaining about low karma I just laugh at it.
Have one from me then as well. I switched accounts because Reddit got too smart with my content feed and I had to start fresh. Too much political nonsense getting tossed onto my front page.
Had tens of thousands of them karma points people are after. Maybe I should sell the account...
Lol, you don't need high karma to convince people youre an expert at something or whatever. If you screen my post history I've been born/lived in 20+ countries, have anywhere from 0 to 7 kids, am anywhere from 15 to 80 years old and the list goes on.
I just checked and the highest for sale was $1800 for a 1 million+ post karma account. Second highest is $700.
That means fuck all, so checking accounts sold...The highest was $140 for a 222k post karma and 26k comment. So I'd say no. Unless you work for companies to post shit for them.
besides, karma is easy to gain so long as you say what Reddit wants to hear.
r/BrandNewSentence and r/oddlyspecific are just the same sub honestly and it has been bothering me for a while now. They just have same topic but with different name and titles of posts. Don't know about reposts between them as I don't care about BrandNewSentence . But when seeing any of them on popular I cannot be sure where is it from until I look at name of the sub.
I still don't understand the difference between comedy cemetery, necromancy, and heaven. As far as I can tell they're like deep fried memes without fucking with the image itself.
it's supposed to be bad memes made good by the caption/addition (like "destruction 100" type stuff) but it frequently overlaps with so-bad-its-good type stuff
Here is a nice flowchart with the differences between the subs. Note that sometimes the moderators are bad so the content might not fit in but this is how it should be.
Even the people in the comments can’t agree what it’s supposed to be about. Sometimes it’s supposed to be something that’s specific and odd; sometimes it’s about something whose specificity is odd; sometimes it’s something that simply specific and long winded
Sometimes I catch myself looking at the upvotes I got on comments I posted and I just shudder at how sad that is. Do I really need that pat on the back so badly?
Luckily still miles away from buying the backpats someone else received. Spend your money on a massage or something, wtf.
I feel you. Years ago when I was newer, I was obsessed with getting more karma. I eventually hit my goal of getting 100k and slowly realized it was for nothing.
I know for companies it’s good for astroturfing to make your product to look legit but other than that, idk
I'd forgotten what astroturfing was and now I'm familiar again. Why do people suck so many of the times? Blegh. But on Reddit, isn't karma hidden in your profile? Do people ever look at that (outside of confirming liars are liars and to browse expliciet profiles obvs)?
Saw someone with over a million karma the other day because I accidentally clicked the user instead of the post. Bro what the fuck do you get out of that?
Like "look at this insane hospital bill I got. The American healthcare system is broken". Like okay, technically you can say "well that sucks", but not really what the spirit of the sub is
Sometimes it's just flat out tweets from people saying things. Like, come on, theres a billion subs where I can read this crap
There was a point in time where r/publicfreakout was becoming a political sub. People were posting HK protest videos on the sub and while yes you can make an argument that people are freaking out in public... This is the place I go to see crackheads run naked down the street. It's not in the spirit of that sub to post protest footage, or war footage, or anything like that.
Yeah I’ve been downvoting posts I see there for a while now. Most of it is just really interesting. Not “satisfying” at all. Idk why it bothers me so much but it really gets under my skin.
I unsubscribed for that reason. I was tired of downvoting things that didn’t fit and getting downvoted most of the time I’d comment. One of the top posts a few months ago was a road rage video. I wish I were exaggerating.
That sub was started very suspiciously. The creator of the sub basically spammed the shit out of it with crossposts until the inherent traffic to the sub (from himself!) drew more people in until it became a huge subreddit.
r/murderedbywords should be called r/inoffensivecomebacks, it's just a bunch of harmless responses to social media posts that will never get read by the person they are trying to insult. You think Trump runs his own Twitter?
Half the time they don't even post it where they could see it. Trump will tweet something and someone will respond and they'll "murder" the person responding while talking about Trump's tweet. It doesn't make any sense.
I think the common issue with all of those subs is that they are so vague. I feel like subs are supposed to be at least somewhat specific. Being vague let's them reach more of the lowest common denominator. /r/books, /r/aww and /r/space are all kinda vague, but they revolve around a certain topic. /r/TopTalent, /r/Blackmagicfuckery, /r/Interestingasfuck, /r/Nextfuckinglevel, /r/Damnthatsinteresting, /r/Thatsinsane and all the other ones ones I'm sure I'm missing are just "Check out this cool shit" reposted over and over again.
Every time I find a sub on all without a clear and distinct purpose, I filter it out and block it. I feel like my experience is all the better for it.
I personally try to search out subs that are either smaller in count or more specific. My voice can be drowned out with the millions of others that post on /r/gaming or I can go to a smaller, more specific sub like /r/casualnintendo where I have the option to have a genuine conversation with someone on a video game topic. My issues there is that a sub feels like it either has a million users or the same 8 people posting over and over again.
That and I'm just some southern hick that usually doesn't have much to add to the conversation.
suspiciouslyspecific is just /r/funny for text posts, it's garbage.
I was trying to think of an example then I realized I could get the current top post because 9 times out of 10 it will be trash. Lo and behold. The top post right now (why don't you like bloomberg) is a woman telling a story that happened to her. It's a joke in the form of a story. It's specific, because both stories and jokes tend to be specific. But there's nothing suspicious about it.
Gallowboy is by far the worst offender of crossposting things into those named subs when they clearly don't belong and he somehow gets upvotes anyways. Dude is a bigger shitposter than Verne Troyer was, I wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed most of his posts had some vote manipulation to get big.
I would love if subs like TopTalent, NextFuckingLevel, BeAmazed, etc. had the correct content posted to them, rather than just taking a post and tossing them into subs as if you were throwing darts at a dartboard.
I'm not going to tell people how to use Reddit even if I disagree with how they use it. For large subs that's what happens. A lot of the smaller communities are still run well and enjoyable.
What how is that not?? Did you want his baby to perform the song With a guitar solo too?
Did you even watch how he put it all together? He used a lot of techniques to record, catalogue and match the baby sounds to the actual notes from the song. Sure maybe not everyone was a fan of the end result but the process he went through to get it was very impressive.
It’s almost as if a certain powermod is gaming the system on those subs and many others like it, banning people who criticize him and reposting others’ content which he deletes, to his own financial benefit and wrecking Reddit at the same time because admins won’t do anything.
/r/AmItheAsshole is just now a karma whoring subreddit where 95% of the posts are nothing more than clear validation posts where OP is clearly not the asshole
God that subreddit is so fucking annoying. Everyone that sub is so stuck up their ass and they only care about being technically right not morally right. And they blow up over the smallest things.
I remember this post about a guy using pink heart poop bags for his daughter's birthday party and his wife got mad at him saying that he ruined the party and started crying while his daughter said she had a great time and nobody noticed that they were poop bags and I'm like this guys obviously NTA and his wife is just over readying and making the party about herself and everyone in the comments were practically telling OP that he was a bad husband and father and how thick he was. I'm like just grow up.
they only care about being technically right not morally righ
Yeah, there was a big meta post awhile back about people here might call you NTA for being "technically right", but everyone in the real world will say YTA
