I use a css script to hide all karma on reddit. Upvote me, downvote me, I don't care about imaginary internet points. The only thing I loathe is posting something factually correct, but unpopular, getting downvoted, and then reddit decides 'you've been doing that too much!' and stops you from posting. No thanks. I'll just close the tab and move on with my life.

> 'you've been doing that too much!' and stops you from posting. What does this mean? Does reddit actually ban you if you're downvoted "too much"? Seems crazy.

  Nah, they just rate limit you to only posting once every 10 minutes if you're getting heavily downvoted. It's irritating as heck, but not a big deal, I just close the tab.

    Thank you. That's fascinating. I never knew this. My brother's reddit account was suspended recently. He's somewhat conservative and the last bit of posting he made (that I could find) was arguing about COVID & masks. I don't know if he posted anything controversial beyond that because I haven't had a chance to talk to him recently. He seemed to relish going into hostile subreddits and "mixing it up."

  posting too much. Much like HN some reddit groups have a time out to let you cool off if you go over N posts, especially if your account is new. Happens to me a lot since I delete my account and start over ever 3 or 4 months. I don't care about karma more than say enough to not get rate limited.

Why hide instead of just ignoring?

  Why ignore it when I can remove a toxic element entirely?

It’s really amazing how there are some simple and readily available economic stats that will get you downvoted deep into a hole in the ground, and people will call you a literal nazi. Reddit is a special place.

  What economic statistics would those be?

    My first guess: comparison of wages for men and women but adjusted to take into account years of experience and occupational choices. That comparison doesn't align very well with the ever popular "census data" report about wages for all women vs all men which "proves" that woman aren't paid "equally".

    Almost any data that paints a positive picture of progress in the last 40 years will get you nuked. For example, median household incomes have actually risen and Americans are generally far richer today despite healthcare and education becoming more expensive relatively.
