Shit, I'm sorry. I had close to 1m before I bailed. It was all quality comment karma though. I just have no life.
Thanks, kind stranger! Here's an updoot and Reddit Silver!
Honestly, karma is just for getting started on reddit. Certain subreddits, require your account to exist and have a certain amount of karma to "validate" it. I don't think people care about getting karma beyond that point.
I think the only way to really fix this is to make votes a limited asset that accounts have. There are forums where this has worked okay: bodybuilding.com forums has a reputation system where accounts are limited in what they can give to other voters.
As long as “karma” is unlimited it suffers from the same problems whether you count it in aggregate or not. As some other commenters have said, people still seek validation in individual comments. I know because I do too.

No, there's karma. I've had more than a couple guys point out mine is negative.
I think some apps will request all of your comment history and manually calculate karma but it’s not tracked by lemmy
