View submission: Karma for text-posts (AKA self-posts)
Imagine subs like /r/TIFU or /r/confessions. There always were shitty made-up stories for the sake of attention, but now that karma is reapable those subs will be inundated with horribly made fake posts. This is basically a bullet to the brain for any sub that relied on qualitycontrol via textpost.

I'm sure they'll figure out ways to manage. No karma text posts is no replacement for actual moderation anyways. The shitposters, karma famers and spam bots were already using these subs.
