Navigating Reddit's Karma System

[Steven Thomas]

How upvotes, downvotes, and karma work and their impact on your visibility?

 

[Brent Hall]

You may participate early in discussions or on popular posts. Content that gains upvotes quickly tends to rank higher and get more visibility.

 

[Alex Martucci]

Be authentic always. Avoid spamming or posting solely for self-promotion. Reddit users are often wary of marketing-heavy content and will downvote posts that feel insincere.

 

[Kim Osburn]

It does not mean new users cannot get visibility. If a post receives a significant number of upvotes quickly, even users with lower karma can see their posts rise to the top.
