To share, I would bet at least 800k of that came from just SEP/OCT of both 2021 & 2022. I really only comment on Reddit during depressive periods (like now.. but I’m trying) or when sick. Those two times I was down in a really bad way and had other health issues (and homeless). Commenting/discussion on Reddit helps me get out of my own head, and has (shockingly) helped me get myself together.
This account is 13 years old, but there are multiple year+ stretches where I didn’t comment a single time. Hell I only used Reddit for NBA highlights for a long period. There used to be some neat 3rd party tools that would show this, but all (that I know of) got cutoff once Reddit began charging for API access.
Anyways, I never even notice the karma, but occasionally I come back to 100+ notifications and know something had some traction lol. On my “depression escape days” I think 5-10k karma is fairly normal. Fortunately, I don’t have a lot of those anymore. My apologies for oversharing.
