One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don’t do anything, but we still crave them.
On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called “karma”
In moving on from Reddit, I’m burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.
How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?
You’re right, of course.
What I mean is that I don’t have the energy to follow up on beraucrecy for months and months. It doesn’t really matter to me what it’s called.
It is my experience that this sort of thing either gets a lot of attention, or it comes to nothing. Often both.
