Ask HW: I crossed 1000 karma points, now what?
- simonblack 6y agokarma is just a meaningless number. When I left Reddit I had something like 50,000 karma points. What did those 50,000 karma points give me? Nuttin, nothing, nada, zilch, zero! You can chase the numbers if you want. It's not much different from collecting pretty sea-shells on the beach.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoNow learn that you're on HN, not HW. ;-) Actually, learn to not be a slave to increasing your karma number. I know, you (and many of us) get a dopamine hit from watching it increase, but... you can make yourself a slave to your karma number. Maintain your freedom instead of succumbing to slavery. If you start feeling what I'm talking about, then maybe you need to walk away for a while. ... says the guy who teeters on the edge of being enslaved to that dopamine hit...
- kstenerud 6y agoWhat do you mean "now what"?
- akulbe 6y ago¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so what?
- akulbe 6y agoYou can downvote it if you want… but really, why make a big deal out of it? Just keep contributing to the discussion and conversation. I mean ask some big influencers… like patio11 and tptacek. They don't get all hand-wavey "ooooohhhh, I got 1000 points!!" they just keep engaging in the conversation, bringing value to the table. You should keep doing it too.

- Kaibeezy 6y agoBadges. A simple dot. Log scale. Is there a reason not to? ETA: Guess there must be. No, please don’t explain or discuss. A puzzle for the “noob”. Thank you!
