minus-squaremtchristo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up23arrow-down3·2 days agoThere are no virtual points to earn on Lemmy. So hopefully it will resist the enshitification for while.

minus-squareAnarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up17·2 days 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-up8·2 days 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-up1·2 days 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.
