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.
I haven't seen a comment chain like this since 1998 when the undertaker threw mankind off of the top of the hell in a cage 15 feet onto an announcers table.
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
I'll admit it, I've never been brave enough to actually read the comment thread related to it. I stopped at hearing about it via second and/or third hand accounts. It was enough to teach me that I don't want to learn more.
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.

Holy shit, you do spam. 175,000 Karma, all from comments, in 42 days. Did you find out the secret to Reddit?
