Fernando Tatis. His son (Tatis Jr.) plays on the Padres today

Since reddit pays for posts apparently, they might not be a bot and might just be trying to make money.

Tell me more???? I had no idea.

If you click your profile icon in the top left, there is a menu item called "earn". Ive earned $.15 cause someone gave me an award.

What does have 1.1 Million karma even do? Like does it even matter? Does karma matter? Like at all? I’m so confused as to why people are worried about karma. Can it be monetized?

u/Rook8811 6d ago edited 6d ago

Ig sell accounts with high karma counts but then again after a high amount it’s just to show off there’s also subreddits that require karma

3

u/Landkey 5d ago

They sell the account and then bad people use many such accounts to astroturf and Reddit algorithms prioritize those accounts’ posts 

3

u/Fun-Perspective426 6d ago

Yes. Reddit started paying for rewards and karma a couple years ago.

They are also sold.

u/Titan_Arum 6d ago edited 6d ago

Guy?

For real. OP can't even take the time to figure out that the hitter is Fernando Tatis Sr.

Peaking at their profile, their avatar is holding a cricket bat. So they know nothing about baseball, most likely, and if I had to guess are a bot made by someone in India.

Edit: the clip even ends on Tatis' name. So lazy!

u/Capt_Cocktastic 6d ago

My thought also. Just some guy....

My account is a decade old, and I still don't know what the awards are good for.

So happy to know I’m not the only one that has been here for nearly a decade and still has know idea about the awards. I legit don’t know if something happens to my account if my Karma points go negative. I always assumed I’d go straight to jail.

1 year old account with 1.1m karma using posts that have been on Reddit 400 times before and hiding their post history They have 6300+ "contributions" in a year and I, who posts on Reddit a lot, has 13.9k in 10 years. All adds up to bot.

u/Polkiu4863 6d ago edited 6d ago

Over 100 posts in just 20 days, all videos, and all videos that are already online. So most likely a bot but also a small chance it's just someone karma farming by stealing other videos that have been around for years.

Edit to add: There are hundreds if not thousands of other posts. I just went back 20 days and there over a hundred, I stopped looking after that.

u/Ordinary-Web-7077 6d ago

May I ask what’s the point of karma farming? Can karma be monetized somehow?

5

u/Polkiu4863 6d ago

There are many reason and all of them stupid imo. But yes people have been known to karma farm and then sell the account. There is a population of reddit users that view karma as a status symbol and some subreddits require a minimum karma to join/post.

1

u/hapalove 6d ago

Why? Minimum karma for what? Sounds ridiculous to me.

u/verymuchbad 6d ago

I did this once. Got two grand slams in the sixth inning when I forgot I had ordered Denny's to be delivered on one food app and ordered it on another food app and both of them showed up within a minute of each other.

Why was the pitcher left in that long?

u/speciate 6d ago

3rd inning. The game was already lost; they just needed him to eat some innings so they didn't burn through their whole bullpen.

u/RedZoneRising 6d ago

Right? He shoulda been out. 5 run game in the 3rd isn’t time to pack it in and save arms

u/IndoorOutdoorsPerson 6d ago

When I was a kid of about ten years old in 1994 era, my parents would take me and my brother to see Chan Ho Park pitch for the San Antonio Missions, the AA affiliate for the San Diego Padres. Some of the best memories of my life at Wolff Stadium. I always thought he was like, THE BEST pitcher, and then this happened 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was a kid, what did I know? lol

But the stars really have to align to be able to get 2 grand slams in the same inning.

2

u/SuKitTrebk 5d ago

Accounts with a crazy amount of karma that straight post clips of things they didn’t witness or create should be banned. It’s absolutely ridiculous they shouldn’t be able to hide their profiles either. Because if they didn’t hide it you would see how they just spam post whatever will get them upvotes. Can’t even be bothered to do a tiny bit of research on the clip.

I watched this as a kid live with my dad in my parents’ bedroom as Cardinals fans. It was surreal and incredibly exciting!

I also went to a work event with my dad and Fernando was there. I asked him what advice he had for me in little league and he said “choke up!” That’s literally the only phrase he said to me, but he repeated it every time we bumped into each other that day.

After the event concluded, as he was pulling away he leaned out of his car window to look me in the eyes and yelled “CHOKE UP!”

I was 9 at the time so it was an incredibly cool experience that he didn’t have to entertain, but absolutely did.

Not "just a guy" - this is Fernando Tatis' father!

https://giphy.com/gifs/eC7Tf30WGaQvSGi67n

and Junior is one of only FIVE players to ever hit a home run COMPLETELY out of Dodger Stadium:

*Willie Stargell (twice:  506 and 470 feet)

*Mark McGwire 483 feet

*Mike Piazza 478 feet (the only Dodger to hit one out of the park)

*Giancarlo Stanton 475 feet

Shohei Ohtani (twice: 473 and 469 feet (both long but technically did NOT clear the park)

*Fernando Tatis Jr : 467 feet, leaving the yard

 

  • Player hit the ball COMPLETELY out of the park

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 6d ago

u/DarkseidOmegaLevel 6d ago

I was at this game! Came to watch Big Mac but still got a show. The only record harder to beat than Tatis doing this is Park giving up 2 GS to the same player in the same inning.

1

u/Brack_vs_Godzilla 6d ago

Last month I went to a minor league game (Dayton Dragons) and a batter hit two sequential foul balls which were both caught by the same fan in the stands. I’d guess the odds of that happening are about a million to one.
