How much karma are you burning? (lemmy.ml)

One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don't do anything, but we still crave them.

On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called "karma"

In moving on from Reddit, I'm burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.

How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?

Not my account, but my bot, thebenshapirobot, just reached 600,000 karma in about a year and a half. I was always hoping it'd get to a million karma while trolling Ben Shapiro. The bot is currently off as part of the blackout, and frankly I have no idea if the API changes will affect it because I haven't bothered to read them.
