Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    There are some subreddits that limit posts or comments based on your karma. It’s an attempt to reduce spam from bot accounts.

      There were a few b/s subreddits that had like a minimum purchase requirement to even sell shit. My friend had a $500 knife he wanted to sell, but since he hadn’t bought enough shit on the knife sale subreddit he wasn’t allowed to sell anything. There was another subreddit I belonged to a few hobbies abo that was the same way, but I don’t remember which one it was, but I’m sure there were plenty of other subreddits that did that.

        r/Portland had a minimum account age requirement because of constant brigading after the 2020 protests.
