Karma

Karma is a point system used on platforms like Reddit to reflect how much value a user brings to the community. Users earn karma when their posts or comments are upvoted by others, and they lose karma when they receive downvotes.

It’s a way to reward helpful, funny, or insightful contributions while discouraging spam or low-quality content. While karma doesn’t directly impact your ability to use Reddit, a higher score can build trust, unlock certain features in some communities, and signal credibility to other users.
