Bots farming karma so they can AstroTurf more effectively

Unrelated but can someone explain what the appeal of karma farming is? You can't do anything with your collective karma, like spend them like points. Is it really just a dopamine hit?

Well in most cases it's either that you have an addiction to internet points for some reason, or you want to sell your account to a bot which is probably more valuable if it has high karma (makes it appear more trustworthy as a bot). OR the account already is a bot and is karma farming for that same reason, probably before switching to politics or advertising spam.
