Sure, but it offers at least some protection.

By low karma I mean -100 types.

The traffic on Reddit is massive for highly populated subreddits. And these subreddits that restrict low karma account activities aren't doing it for any profit motive.

I understand Lemmy isn't really big enough for this to be a concern here.

Unfortunately, on reddit - when subreddits restrict new posters or low karma commenters, they're just trying to mitigate the impact of trolls and bots and people making new accounts. It's not about being elitist.

Yeah, I often just forget to upvote generally. Although this could lead to argumentative posters making troll posts, getting engagement and trending just because people reply to them.

This may not be an inherently bad thing given that low karma accounts tend to be trolls.

If you don't like the direction of a movie or show, you can just watch something else. There is an entire caustic critic industry based around complaining about Disney. It is sad.

The level of utter derangement people have over mainstream cinema (marvel, star wars, franchise, action slop, disney remakes) being 'tainted' by a raceswap, or being 'woke' in some way is off the scales.

There are genuinely people crying themselves to sleep over the perceived quality of the entertainment equivalent of happy meals. There's an entire caustic critic industry over it. It's honestly pathetic how so many people have MCU Derangement syndrome.
