Steam wishlist, itch.io number of views, YouTube views and now GitHub stars… I’m tired of all the gamification of creativity. Now if you’d upvote my comment I can get same karma please and thank you


Besides the ability to downvote comments after passing a threshold of 500, what else is HN karma good for?


Who knows? The way things are going VCs could start asking claude to review someone’s online presence and Claude might decide karma is the best metric for that


I don't mean hypothetical things... are there any more thresholds that unlock functionality?
