Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a "current event" that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today's or any recent time's 24 hour news cycle. Nearly 30K upvotes. 100 comments. Feels like ai/bot cosplaying what an actual hot reddit post would be like but in a world without people.

I feel what we're seeing is a lack of OC from actual humans, that is being filled in by your standard karma farming bot. Doubt we're at the AI filled posts time yet. Thinking those will be less obvious, and show up over the next couple months. So glad I'm part of a site without user karma. It means reposts are likely from passionate users rather than bots.

Yeah, but Kbin has "reputation", which is very similar to karma. The whole voting business, while useful for post/comment sorting and collection of metrics, also gives bad incentives and delivers data also great for bot farms. I'd be happy if it didn't exist at all.

Anyone could create their own third party karma counting tool, which computes users post and comment karma. Then use that score to sell accounts to spammers.
