  • The chief difference between here, and Reddit, is that there is no accumulated tally of votes here. Someone can “karma farm” all they want here, and they will have exactly nothing to show for it. Their account doesn’t have a number going up, there is no final score that marks them out as any kind of special.

    Adding any kind of system to denote “consistent positive contribution” as you mentioned, or any kind of actually accumulated score, regardless of rolling delay, would only provide incentive for “karma farming” that does not currently exist.

    Your proposed solutions would create the problem you’re trying to solve, a problem which does not currently exist.













  • It’s because they are. Apple wants to position itself as a “Luxury Brand” first and foremost, that happens to sell mostly tech stuff. Look at the absurd accessory prices, like this thousand dollar monitor stand. There is no reality in which that piece of shit is actually worth that much, but by offering their stupid shit at those prices, people can be associated with such opulence whenever they buy other Apple products. They just want to be the Gucci of computers, and it shows in how they have only been innovating on ways to extract money for low quality products, and not in the actual technology itself.
