Just recently, thanks to the awful meltdown going on over at Reddit.
On scores and ‘karma’ specifically, another issue with visible voting metrics is how they encourage the dopamine-chasing behavior that’s so common to social media platforms. This artificial ‘validation’ pushes us towards inauthenticity and feeds our addictions to bigger numbers.

You, b-baka!
Spez and the rest of the admins did a great job at chasing me away from the platform early. I’d wait for Apollo to die first, but I just can’t handle the toxic air suffusing the entire platform lately. Not to mention, it’s all but useless right now thanks to the protests.
Thanks to the forced hiatus, I’ve come to realize how bad the platform was for my mental health. Honestly, even if they fire spez and fix the whole API thing, I might end up taking an extremely long break from Reddit.
