Just a heads up, this is posted by a karma farming account. 62k post karma and 192 comment karma.

And? It’s PA related news from a reputable news site.

Karma farming is bad. Some people build karma farming accounts to later sell after a substantial amount of karma has been accrued. These accounts are sold to advertisement/marketing companies, because these accounts allow them to post in popular subreddits that usually have a karma cap. Once sold, these accounts are blatantly used for advertisement, sometimes not even marked as such.

Just a heads up, this is an account that solely posts accusations that OP is a bot or astroturfing on any politically charged post.

Just delete Reddit then, because it’s all advertisements and influencers at this point.

I have a decent amount of karma. How much can I sell my account for?

Cool, I just looked at one and it said it doesn't pay more than 100 bucks for an account. I'll check around.

You post this every time. We don't care. If it's so important to you, scour the news websites and post pertinent articles yourself.

No, seriously, you are providing nothing for the sub. This post is both relevant and informative. Even if they are farming karma, which you can't prove until they actually do sell, they are providing a valuable service. Don't like it? Find the stuff first and post it yourself. Your complaints are basically complaining that the free local paper has ads in it or that the quirky tech startup everyone is fawning over plans to sell out to Google or whoever else offers enough first.

I’m just as useful as people arguing with strangers on the internet

I would say that if this really is a bot, you're actually less useful. At least when two people are arguing they're keeping themselves occupied. You can't even manage that much.
