minus-squaremtchristo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down3·1 day agoThere are no virtual points to earn on Lemmy. So hopefully it will resist the enshitification for while.

minus-squareAnarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 day agoAccount age and karma makes an account look more legit and it’s thus more useful for spreading misinformation and/or guerilla marketing.
minus-squareIrelephant@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 day agoSame reason why people play cookie clicker, watch the useless number go up. Also, some subs are downright hostile to people with low karma.
minus-squareZahille7@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·20 hours agoI actually got auto-added to some bullshit sub that was “for people with so much karma.” I don’t remember what the number was, because it was such a useless sub that no one engaged with.
