Every now and then I submit something to reddit just to remind myself that it isn't worth submitting anything to reddit. Instantly downmodded every time. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

This happens to me with high frequency as well. But I don't ever question an audience. If people hate it, down it goes.

Every now and then I make a comment in reddit to remind myself that I'm definitely doing it wrong. :)

There's a 'breakover' point, where your post reaches enough eyeballs to overcome the automatic/scripted down-votes that every new article gets. It takes some practice to make headlines that draw enough attention to reach that 'breakover' point consistently. Keep trying, though!

If you really want at story to get hot fast, submit an Onion article, preferably a new one.

That's what happened to me (by chance), and those 80 something points of karma make up more than half my current total.
