One other thing about karma farming and why we're always on the lookout for it: people deliberately inflate it so they could sell the account. It is then used to astroturf or even more evil purposes like scamming in marketplaces. Sa r/thevisoria nga lang, we get those requests semi-regularly to the point I had to make a specific rule about it — pano pa kaya sa mga bigger classified ads subs?

Kaya sometimes may makakalusot na karma farm if it appears to be from a legit user. Annoying yes, but nothing nefarious per se. But someone na walang history sa r/PH at all, posting thread after thread after thread about "Anong kwentong commute mo" or "What is the best burger and why is it not Champ?" — we try to shut that shit down quickly.

Karma points are no different to YouTube's and Facebook's Internet points.

I'm still LMFAO when most kakampinks migrated from Facebook to Reddit, dahil "walang peknews at mindful" ang mga Redditor. Oh boy...
