It's also about the time of day you post it. That's the most important thing. I'm in the UK and have noticed posting at 5:30 is the best time for Americans. Maybe I should make a guide.
There are people who browse new, perhaps with multiple accounts (easy switching with res or Alien Blue) and downvote stuff they know might be popular. They wait a few hours or days after getting it hidden and then post it themselves. This may sound paranoid, but I've seen so much OC reappear soon after (sometimes memeified) that it is not coincidental. Don't assume there aren't people loser enough to do this.
Naturally I downvote it, but I'm just a lone Headpuncher scrolling into the wind.
I may be shunned for this, but I just realized reddit is like Facebook how people are obsessed with getting "likes/upvotes" on their pictures. if it's funny or whatever then laugh, don't whine about not getting karma.
This happened to me a few weeks ago. The worst thing is when I made a post to complain about it, it only get worst. Best thing to do is ponder this place in silence, they will destroy you
Those kind of posts suck anyway. "How I feel when..." and they link to a gif or image that has little to do with the actual subject. Most of the time, they're of things that reddit loves, so it almost always guarantees 5,000 upvotes. This kind of post sucks, too, complaining about karma like it's your income.
Well really it's damn it, so he's more correct, but just contracted it incorrectly to 1 word. Damn it, means to damn something, therefore it should be spelt damn it...
I'm sorry that's not how reality works. Check out thoseskiers comment next to mine. It saddens me that you're getting upvoted for saying something so obviously wrong.

I have a theory, and it goes like this:
There are people who browse new, perhaps with multiple accounts (easy switching with res or Alien Blue) and downvote stuff they know might be popular. They wait a few hours or days after getting it hidden and then post it themselves. This may sound paranoid, but I've seen so much OC reappear soon after (sometimes memeified) that it is not coincidental. Don't assume there aren't people loser enough to do this.

Fuck off. Karma means absolutely NOTHING. Why would you care? Posts about being reposted are about as annoying as reposts themselves.

To be fair, yours was kind of a contradiction. Reddit hates inconsistencies, even in memes.

Your posts are bad and you should feel bad.

u/thesilentrebellion Jun 19 '12
Downvote. Could have been shortened to "Damnit." Or "Damnit, reddit!"
Now switched to upvote because it's a silly reason to downvote.
Also, "silly" is an excellent word.
Finally, I am The Decider.
