I also remember the post that originated imgur... because I was addicted to reddit back then. The founder called imgur a "gift to reddit"... http://www.reddit.

The founder called imgur a "gift to reddit"... http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to_reddit_i_created_an_image_hosting/ http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to... Like most redditors I was shocked when I couldn't use my karma to buy stake in imgur. After becoming depressed that imgur was not really a "gift", I quit reddit, and decided to found a startup. And now I'm here. So thank you for that imgur.

And yet, 'MrGrim' is still using reddit, namely this nice post last week: "I'm finally going to build the computer of my dreams" http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1mjbvl/build_ready_after_a_lifetime_of_building_budget/ http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1mjbvl/build_ready... Nice.

It's almost as if reddit karma is totally meaningless!
