It is extremely easy to maintain positive karma in a sub. Anyone with negative karma is either brand new, or makes consistently argumentative comments.

It just takes your first ever comment to be at -10 in any given sub to just never come out of it without ever having been "argumentative".

"Consistently argumentative" is just another way of saying "goes against the echo chamber". Upvotes and downvotes are de facto agree/disagree buttons rather than a mark of whether a comment contributes to discussion, and the quality of the site has suffered by it.

My most negative sub score is in CrossStitch because I spoke up against violence[1]. Was that "argumentative commenting" on my part?
I only made one comment, but if I had made more should I have stopped speaking up against violence because I accumulate negative karma?
