I have spent so many years of my time curating daily, looking at the new feed every chance I get, whenever I see a good post I instantly upvote it, leave an original and thoughtout comment and even some replies to other comments in the same post while upvoting those too. I spend so much time making sure to read the full post or watch the full video or look into detail at the paintings and drawings users post and barely any gives me any credit for it.
Every time I find something amazing I want to share I make sure to do it at the most optimal time, make sure I source the original if it's not something original of my own and then I refresh the page constantly to see how well my post is doing and how much I'm being rewarded. I have never spammed, never uploaded the same content twice and always made sure to respond to everyone. Sometimes I get downvoted with no explanation, sometimes I get upvoted too much with no explanation, it's all good, I wasn't doing it for that anyway, it's the attention economy after all.
I have never received a thank you for doing such a great work curating a certain tag or helping grow a certain community. All this time I spent helping shape the front-end but at the end of the day I have nothing to show for it. Worst of all, all those rewards I earned got hyperinflated and any newbie that is just as active as I've been for many years can get the same amount of points as I have in total in a fraction of the time spent.
Why is this happening? Why are my worthless karma points even more worthless now, Reddit? WTF?
