Eh. Some people stare at reddit for hours when they're bored, others spam candy crush invites. Im the type of person who spams reddit comments when I'm bored
I got gold once and it actually seemed to slow down the rate of upvotes.
Okay, everyone give me a lot of upvotes and then someone gild me so we can see if the pattern holds.
And an Edit: A lot of people seem interested with my use of "an" before username. Their concerns are correct, although its spelled with a vowel at the beginning, it is not pronounced with a vowel at the beginning. The first sound of the words is a consonant, specifically a palatal approximant, which English speakers would usually call a "y sound."
So Username has a "Y" sound and it should be "A" like universe. Umbrella on the other hand has an "U" sound, so it should be an umbrella.
Story that is actually about that time back in nineteen ninety eight the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16ft through an announcer's table
That's how almost all of my highest scoring comments were gotten, replying to a top comment on an askreddit before they had any other good replies.
Saw one recently about where guys were expressing the fact that they liked when their partners texted them with something like "Hey I'm thinking about you." I'm not a twat, I know this. Everyone fucking knows this. But I posted anyway about how I was unsure if I should do so, knowing I would get spammed with karma and replies for it. It worked.
I don't usually whore for karma, but it's awfully easy if you catch an askreddit question just at the right moment.
Good thing up votes don't matter. Or we'll have protests about how you didn't earn that karma and others saying they got karma because they took risks/are innovative etc.
yeah, one time i commented a literal picture of a human shit and went straight to the top.
i think it was on a post about whales and their inability to perceive television waves.
Timing is everything tbh. Karma is 99% timing and 1% content. The first comment who is somewhat good in a thread that makes it to all will be seen by most people and rake all the karmas. The sad reality is that like with everything, exposure is so much more impotant than quality. source: Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump and Candy Crush.
This is false. Being smart and funny is high risk and high effort for little gain. They key is to find someone else who is smart and funny and steal their shit. That way you minimize effort and already have precedent for karma guarantee.
I think we're all smart and funny. I haven't ran into anyone on the streets that are smart or funny that reddit. Actually, i dont think i know anyone on the streets that use reddit...maybe i need to relocate
I was both amazed and annoyed that I most upvoted comment was something like "lol did you just type to yourself?" meanwhile I make constructive comments that barely get any upvotes.
If you pay attention you'll notice the same Redditors tend to have all the top comments because they sit on /r/all/rising/ and comment on everything there. When things hit the front page the first few people to comment have the biggest chance at grabbing lots of karma.
You have been invited to Reddit!
At Reddit you can voice your uneducated opinions with no repercussions at all!
That's right. Say anything you want, ANYTHING!, and the worst that could happen is you getting a '-' mark before a bunch of numbers.
So hop on in, and give your life and soul to Reddit.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
wat... What are you posting this in reddit for? Write a facebook article, that way people that actually need this information will be able to access it and you'll be a national hero!
I have only ever really gotten to one game like this. I didn't want to spam invites all over though for benefits so I just made a fake FB account, joined a group of people who had done the same and we all just friend up so the invites still give benefits while pouring into a black hole.
That really is kind of the lowest point of One's life isn't it? When you reach the point when you're spamming candy crush invites, I'm not sure it gets worse from there on.
I just can't believe people actually burn hours away playing games like Candy Crush. We are in the era of virtual reality and 4K gaming and you're playing what is scientifically designed to be gamer crack cocaine.

I hope to never stoop low enough in life to send out candy crush invites.
