I feel what we're seeing is a lack of OC from actual humans, that is being filled in by your standard karma farming bot. Doubt we're at the AI filled posts time yet. Thinking those will be less obvious, and show up over the next couple months. So glad I'm part of a site without user karma. It means reposts are likely from passionate users rather than bots.
Yeah, but Kbin has "reputation", which is very similar to karma. The whole voting business, while useful for post/comment sorting and collection of metrics, also gives bad incentives and delivers data also great for bot farms. I'd be happy if it didn't exist at all.
