    I used to create new accounts and pick up some karma on those freekarma4you subs and similar, where people upvote eachother just for karma.

    Last time I did this, recently, the account (which was brand new) was shadow banned in multiple different subs that I used to participate, without having had any prior activity on those subs at all.

    I can only imagine there is some kind of auto filter shadow banning accounts which post on these karma subs that mods or admins are using now. So it will be even harder for newer accounts to participate, I honestly don’t know how I’d have managed to get karma to comment on any sub any other way.

      oh yea they shadowban karma farm accounts now, due to them being used as way of being sold to another user who wants to use hundreds of accounts to “add links to thier business, or OF acct”. this is from what ive found out on another site(about selling/buying reddit accts with karma). they should get rid of the karma feature.

      did you know Reddit also has CQS (community quality score) its a hidden metric reddit uses to determine "trustworthyness, and bottiness of an account. things like spammy behaviour, voting pattern, commenting,etc.
