Ther is no karma, and therefore no incentive to create repost bots

Organic reposts happen and aren't that bad, imo. It's the bots that were recycling en mass that I hated

There is a number though. And some apps show the overall amount of upvotes and downvotes someone has. If there is a number that's enough for far too many people. There are literally games people play that are simpler than making the number go up with comments. "Number go up, me happy.". There is incentive.

Is there really no karma? You still get upvotes for your comments and posts and in theory you can sum them together to get the equivalent of "karma", right?
