Does anyone have advice about improving my karma? I'm roughly 42nd percentile. I suppose lurking doesn't help.

- DanBC 14y agoCynically: many stories are reposted. Discover what those are, and what the popular opinions on them are. Then monitor new, and make the popular comment early to reap most karma. Commenting at the right time seems to help. Having a single thought per post also helps; people tend to upvote if they agree with the entire post.
- untog 14y agoI know this is going to sound preachy, but the best way to improve your karma is probably to stop thinking about how to improve your karma. That is, just post your thoughts on a topic, written as best you can. At least, that's worked well for me and probably most other high percentile-ers. Don't start pandering to what you think will attract a lot of upvotes- karma is meaningless after all.
