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...

I remember being able to learn Photoshop and After Effects from those guys well enough to edit this video of a live Earthquake in LA:

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.

14k used to be an insane amount of upvotes. Now it’s just a Tuesday.

You missed the back in the day part. It's not like that anymore... it's super easy to get in there, so it's just like everywhere else.

u/Useful-ldiot Aug 15 '21

I'm in there. It's not fun anymore. The only sub I'd miss is eternityclub

u/typicalBACON Aug 15 '21
