View submission: Karma experiment
well at least they wont change the ranking of awarded comments or posts, so except for them technically buying karma (which is useless anyways) i don't see the problem with that

That's true, but there is more value than just changing rankings. Otherwise non-worthwhile submissions often gain traction due to awards (which is another long-standing gripe of mine: awards should at least be hidden as long as scores are.) But giving karma chasers more value for awards certainly won't curb that.

Don’t awards currently influence ranking? Like if two comments have a 100 upvotes, but one of them has two awards, won’t it be ranked higher?
