    when upvote, karma go up, when downvote karma go down, stupid system, downvotes are meant to represent disagreement, not always as something negative

      This is expressly not what downvotes are for according to official reddiquette.

      Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you’re downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion.

      Ok but… Who cares? I’m not a youtuber trying to get upvotes and subscriptions for an algorithm so I can get more ad revenue, why would I care about my karma score?

        Many subreddits require up to 100 karma to post in them, so your first few weeks using Reddit would be a grind for karma until you reach a comfortable threshold.

      Down votes are for off topic discussion not disagreement. They’re specifically meant to not be used for disagreement.
