I know you can’t post in certain subreddits without some amount of Karma but it is usually low like 10 or something.
So I don’t know why you would really care about an account with thousands of karma.
I don’t think Karma plays a role in post viability or anything like that but I could be wrong.
In reddit mostly porn bots were karma farmers they spammed on certain subs where they got lots of likes and probably later on got into a scam or spam bot that tried to make money.
Funny thing is on r/worldpolitics you could post without any karma and no mods were present but bot attacks got downvoted very hard. Like politics or anything that the people didn’t like there.
For real. A community doesn’t need an inherent popularity contest.
Plus no karma farms, imagine posting for the sake of it
Why were there Karma farms anyway? Is there any benefit on Reddit for a lot of Karma?

Different subreddits had different rules. In some subs you needed loads of karma to post.
Karma farming was also used to bump up the account so that it could be sold to malicious buyers for propaganda or spam posting purposes.
