Current Events > Do you get something for having a lot of karma on Reddit?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do people be like "Damn you got tons of karma, man, you must be someone very important and special! I'm so jealous!"? Cause that shit don't happen around here.

Idk, there are bots that let you into secret subreddits based on your account status, some might be related to high karma.

There's Reddit karma and some subs track karma based on posts within the sub. Both are tracked by an algorhithm. Not sure if it's the same one for each though.

Reddit gives avatars, NFTs and other things based on karma. Some of these things can also only be purchased with a certain amount of karma. (Don't spend money on Reddit though)

Those subs that also issue karma can allow voting privileges based on karma for governance and moderation rules for the sub, in order to have the sub to reflect the interests of people who use it most.

I know certain sub reddits that have karma qualifications that you can get some great stuff, or even just real world help (like money and such) if you meet karma and similar standards.

Yes. AFAIK, all the gifts can be sold too. Some people have made (tens of?) thousands. But IMO trading/selling just invites getting scammed. I just hold what I get, since it cost me nothing to obtain.

its similar to the gamefaqs karma

It's kinda like how I can flex how I'm a GameFAQs expert on Persona 5 Royal to people
