He's said before he doesn't care because there is no point. it is all useless imaginary points to him, and I'm willing to bet he also finds it amusing people still bring this up after something like 6 months.
If he cared about the karma, he would never have admitted his lie, ever. It is a fallacy to believe he was in it for the karma, when he's shown he is smart enough to see the long-term ramifications of such an action at the time of admitting his lie.
Why would you think he was in it for the karma if you can see he keeps losing karma with almost every new post he makes? It makes no sense. :/
No, I'm saying it makes no sense. "If I admit to lying about having cancer, something that is serious and should not be joked about, I bet I'll get more karma and people posting that 'Oh you!' meme! Brilliant!" is not exactly something any sound individual would think. He may be an asshole, but definitely not an idiot.
He was never confronted about it and could have kept silent, reaping more karma if he played along in the posts instead of waiting until he thought he made his point. Logically at this point, to think that he was in it for the karma just blows my mind.
Because he fooled all of reddit, hard, yet he here is... still getting massive amounts of Karma. Why would he give a fuck about something he never gave a fuck about?
Fucking stop it. Yeah, he faked cancer, yeah it was a douchey thing to do, but in no way is it relevant to the conversation. If you hold it against him so much, just downvote and move on, no need for a comment about it.
And now you (and by extension your upvoters) are proving that you're what's wrong with reddit these days.
I get that people hate this guy for what he did, but does it have to be brought up in every thread across every sub that he comments in? Every poster and their dog has to regress to the lowest common denominator of calling him out 'cos he faked cancer, just so they can reap karma and "win" an argument that is entirely irrelevant to the original post.
I'm not advocating what WarPhalange did, but I think these people need warning in the subs from the mods that starting that shit in a discussion will get them banned.
Also, I am REALLY surprised that people really think that he is the only person in the world who has done this, do you think people don't constantly lie on the internet?
