      Account age and karma makes an account look more legit and it’s thus more useful for spreading misinformation and/or guerilla marketing.

      Same reason why people play cookie clicker, watch the useless number go up.

      Also, some subs are downright hostile to people with low karma.

        I actually got auto-added to some bullshit sub that was “for people with so much karma.” I don’t remember what the number was, because it was such a useless sub that no one engaged with.

      Some subreddits require a minimum karma score for posting. And it gets less likely to get shadow banned the more karma you have.
