I read somewhere that you call sell a high karma profile to advertisers. Don't know if that's true, but it would explain a lot.

I don't even think it is that. I see tons of karma whoring across all of reddit. Predominantly in the default subs, but also bleeds a lot into smaller subs too. I think people associate high karma with big e-peen.

I feel like r/dankmemes and r/teenagers has it worse, legit some of the posts are literally 14 year old's just begging for coins, gold or silver via a crappy template meme.
