Aren't you contradicting yourself? Reddit karma is what drives its algorithmic feed.

Using upvotes to sort the /hot feed is a helpful. The most popular posts rise to the top.

Having those upvotes reflected on your profile encourages the more obnoxious posts. That part is what I mean by karma.

Reddit's feed is handled by a simple algorithm. It doesn't use machine learning to guess what you personally would like.
