Karma no longer 1-to-1 value-wise?
I haven't really paid attention to karma much in a long time, just something that fades into the background after you've been on HN a while. I'm noticing as a story I posted climbs the frontpage that I'm not getting 1 karma point per upvote. Note that it matters, but I'm just wondering when this changed, or has it always been this way?
Or is it based on some formula, or some other factor such as once you cross a certain karma threshold?
- tjr 11y agoI've noticed that too. Does someone flagging the story work against the story's points? Either 1-to-1 point reduction, or apply some sort of fractional multiplier to the point value of upvotes, perhaps?
