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:
