Reddit karma is a score that reflects how much a user has contributed to the Reddit community. It's tied to your Reddit account and comes in two types:
1. Post karma – Earned when people upvote your posts.
2. Comment karma – Earned when people upvote your comments.
You lose karma when people downvote your posts or comments.
Karma doesn’t really have a direct use—it’s more like a reputation system. High karma can unlock access to certain subreddits, help your posts get noticed, and make you seem more credible. But it's not a currency or something you can spend.
