I could imagine a situation where someone makes low-effort memes, reposts or something that fits Reddit's monoculture, gaining that 20k positive karma. That person may not comment much and the comments may be low-effort. Where's the maturity and legitimacy here?

That’s great - isn’t that exactly the ‘social score’ implemented in China? Yikes.

Reddit's biggest investors are Chinese so this is just fitting.
