View submission: 15,000 karma cap on Moon distribution.

People want too much artificial controls over moons. I see it like this -

Contribute content of value to the community, and people will upvote equal to the value it provides to them. If someone provides 20k of Karma in value contributed, then they should get moons. Similarly, if people value and upvote moon farming people decide to upvote content that they perceived as added value, so naturally content aimed to make the most impact will see lots of upvotes, but if people thought it added that much value then they are entitled to those moons imo

"Contribute content of value"

Right. A guy literally wrote free bots for this sub and gave them away and he is below another guy on the leaderboard (number 1 this round) who simply happened to post a "gUyS eLOn mUsK Is nOT YoUr FrEND" post and got 32k upvotes on it (a sentiment which has been posted hundreds of times before, btw)

Good joke.

I get it I work a 60 hour week and get paid for 38 hours.

But also artificial control is required due to the monetary value moons have - every single mofo will try to rort the system. or find a way to.

In an ideal world, we could just count on upvotes and downvotes. But what happens when those votes come from bots and not people? If the financial incentive is too big, and has no limit, people will figure it out and just ruin it for everybody.
