we expect that some level of karma farming will happen

I think you're gonna be REALLY disappointed at the amount of karma inflation people will do on burner/junk/farming accounts to sell.

I honestly cannot believe with reddit's track record that they think this won't cause massive karma farming or will magically come up with ways to mitigate it.

This is *literally* designed, plain and simple, to allow people to pay reddit money to boost accounts instead of a third-party karma service. This admin post is disgusting to read.

How are we supposed to combat spam and trolls with negative karma when they can just pay money to bypass karma filters now, u/venkman01?
