I was nearing a hundred thousand D: most from commenting too!
Edit: since people keep telling me, I have gotten my karma back, it seems that whatever caused it to disappear has been fixed for everyone. Thank you for telling me it’s back, greatly appreciated (_)
So back in the day the Karma worked different... and it was hard to get 100,000 upvotes on comments or posts... but if you did you joined the "Century Club".
It was actually a really cool sub... all the orignal gif makers from like 2012 before people knew how to make gifs would teach us... fuck I was paying for adobe creative cloud and participating...
people like editing and layout, Matt0S... unidan (he didn't make gifs, but studied crows and had good observations about anything), etc..
The actual upvotes and downvotes were not real then... Even if you got 2 million upvotes it would settle around 2,100 upvotes or so...
True, but the impact that votes have on karma has always been different from the score of posts/comments and I don't believe they changed that algorithm when they switched to "real" vote counts.
I just applied and got accepted like 10 seconds later lol, still a thing I guess. I was in one before for having 100k comment karma and 100k post karma, no more or less of either
I'm at 140 each now, but I don't remember what the name of the sub was so I can't check if I'm still in it
I think there was one for having been gilded on the front page too?
It’a still a thing, don’t really see a huge amount of posts come through though, although people do share more personal stuff and nobodies really an asshole about stuff because you cant really karma farm in there.
You mean back when they were gifs and not mp4s wrapped in a webm container…
I remember the first time someone posted a webm and people were up in arms as to if it should be considered a gif or not. And then highqualutygifs was born.
I was in century club with my previous account 3-4 years ago. Most of the comments and posts were made by the same 30-40 users. It was an incredibly boring sub.
Almost all the users were Americans and they either lived in big cities or suburbs. I couldn't relate to most of the things they talked about there.
Idk how it changed but it became a lot easier to get upvotes. One thing they did was allow some subs to hide upvotes for a while after a comment is made which does seem to stop the hivemind somewhat, if your comment got downvoted early then people would pile on.
Wow, that's sound cool! Are there any such subreddits of place where people like that hang out still? I have back ground in classical art, a degree in the contemporary form and work with film & television for children. So I'm constantly neck deep in creative processes. I'm not complaining, truly. It's just hard to find other people that are caught in this maelstrom, and I'm getting a little tired of having adjust myself around others so I seem more relatable. Otherwise it becomes rather lonely, rather quickly. There are other approaches certainly, though they're also demanding and counteract the purpose of R&R. Not to disregard them entirely, I'm just trying to scan the horizon in the meantime. Cheers!
There's some club for those who have made the front page. And I'm kinda sad because it came into existence after I made the front page and I'm not allowed to join ):
Everyone lost their Karma points (not the awarder / awardee points, but comment and post karma). It's fixed now, this is why thought you didn't lose any. You did, but they all came back.
I comment a lot, I just enjoy the random conversations, and it just adds up. But every once in a while, I get one that blows up like this. Woke up to 45 comments, wasn’t expecting that lol.
Lol thanks, I just like talking in these random conversations, it ends up adding up, but every once in a while I wake up to 45 comments and a 6.6k karma comment xD.
Yeah, making posts is iffy, you usually have to just copy whatever format is popular or you won’t be getting much from it. But comments? Anything random can blow up, like but fucking
I guess it was a glitch that caused the number displayed to be 0, just another testament to how potato the servers of this website and the people running it are
4.2k
