View submission: Karma for text-posts (AKA self-posts)
i always have appreciated the text post from /r/anime, i think that they are trying to give an incentive for people to write more text posts but in reality the people that wanted to share something will do it anyways and this will only spawn a lot of shitposters and karmawhores, but i might be wrong ¯\*(ツ)*/¯

Well, we already have one very dedicated karma whore at the moment. That guy at least goes out and finds a bunch of news sources, trying to add some value to the sub in his own way.
Yet now that even the worst shitpost can get karma, it's going to be a whole new environment. This is going to add a whole new dimension to the tsundere known as the /r/anime userbase, and it's not going to be pretty.
