    I always found it cool to see my karma increase over the years from mostly commenting. I think I ended up with over 100k comment karma, but frankly I couldn’t give a shit about it here

      The thing is Karma was largely about luck and community. I made a dirty joke that took 5 seconds to think of and wasn’t very funny and got 2000 upvotes because it was in a big thread. I later spent about 5 hours putting together a resource for a smaller community and got 200 upvotes. Almost zero correlation between karma and quality.
