But people don’t up or down vote based on whether your contribution is valuable, they do it based on whether they like what you have to say. The the result being an echo chamber. If you just want people to parrot your own opinions and thoughts back at you I respect your decision but it sounds boring as shit to me.
How sad of a human do you have to be to care about a stupid pointless number
I don’t care about the number but this viewpoint seems rather meanspirited.
I don’t care about the points I do care that I’m contributing in a meaningful and welcoming way tho

Kind of a dick thing to say
It’s quite meaningful on a per comment basis to see how well received your contribution is, but the total is pretty meaningless.
It actually helps a lot when determining if another user is an alt or bot. I’d like to see this for that reason alone.
I guess that’s a fair use, but bots still did karma farming
It’s fun to turn it into a game of sorts. High numbers go brrrrrrr.
