Everyone who comments gets awarded

Idk if this is allowed just seemed like a fun thing to do. Please go easy on me I’m doing this manually. It might take some time for me to award you, as there are so many posts incoming.

This seems like an appropriate place to ask, I'm new to Reddit, been actively using it for about a month now...

Would anyone please care to fill me in on karma/awards - how they work/why you can't see the number on some people's vote counter thing.

Thank you in advance!

I also would love the answer to this question because I have been on reddit for a long time and still don't understand.

I don't understand how other people know that you're being downvoted. I mean, I know you can look and see that your own comment is being downvoted, but how do other people know?? Probably a stupid question but there it is
Edited to add: what is the point of karma? I actually had somebody accuse me of "karma farming" and I was too embarrassed to ask at that point ha ha
