For real. A community doesn't need an inherent popularity contest.
Plus no karma farms, imagine posting for the sake of it
Why were there Karma farms anyway? Is there any benefit on Reddit for a lot of Karma?
Different subreddits had different rules. In some subs you needed loads of karma to post.
Karma farming was also used to bump up the account so that it could be sold to malicious buyers for propaganda or spam posting purposes.
