This place has become even worse than Reddit as karma farming goes…
- red-iron-pine 4y agoYeah I've noticed a serious uptick in the past ~2 years of bots and blatant shilling. HN is arguably not as popular as reddit, but also not as complex, so smaller efforts to game the system work better.
- Jeff_Brown 4y agoWhat's the point? I remember being excited when my karma crossed 1000 here for no reason. Nothing happened, obviously.
- samstave 4y agoI wasnt karma farming. Do you recall the time when one needed a certain karma score in order to downvote? I never downvote, but there are times when I wanted to - but couldnt, even though I am way beyond the initial karma limit which was ~400 or something... I've been on this site daily for 15 years. I still never feel the need to upvote or downvote very often. I also think its criminally funny that the HN forum lacks so many features of moderation, comment management, topic curation etc of even such of the companies they fund. It works - because its a self-entrenched psuedo-sapio-walled-garden... I love HN - but lets not act like its flawless.

- antegamisou 4y agoIt was pretty obvious I was talking about the misleading headline at the OP. How did you come up that my comment was targeted at you I have no idea…
