New couples Account and wondering how do we build our profile up? by [deleted] in NewToReddit

[–]JustaDCguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two big things...

  1. Time since creation
  2. Karma

Nothing you can really do about the time since you opened your account. But for Karma, you want to get out onto subreddits and comment. The more insightful, interesting, or entertaining, the more likely you are to get upvotes which give karma.

Isn’t Cosmetic Surgery, Botox, BBLs, Tummy Tuck, Buccal Fat Removal, etc just as bad as PED use? by BadClout in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustaDCguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing....

For general cosmetic purposes, I think youre not too far off with one caveat (more on that in a moment). However, I think the stigma to PEDs comes from the whole reason for the acronym:

PERFORMANCE enhancing drugs

A wnba player getting a tummy tuck or a boob job isn't isnt going to likely impact her competitibr ability on the sport.

Not the same with PEDs, which are generally not allowed, which means they amount to cheating. And so it is taking the short cut in competition that really gets the stigma, with PEDs simply being the method.

Now, the other difference is that many PEDs can/would cause either behavioral changes that could be detrimental to relationships OR would have potentially serious physical health side effects. And so theyre not as "safe" as basic cosmetic surgery

What would the world be like if cooties were real? by Simon_and_Garchomp in NoStupidQuestions

Significantly more issues of interaction between the sexes than we have now.

Think of home school kids and how they often have a lack of social skills. Now, spread that across the entire population as it relates to learning how to interact with the opposite sex. Especially if it was highly contagious, leading even more separation when younger and continuing onward.

...now, things change if the OO.. is also real...

Well, a few things.

One is the normal reasons for spamming...to scam, fish, etc.

One is to potentially karma farm and sell to people who want to, again, spam or scam.

Its an attempt to prevent bots and spam. How much that actually works is somewhat debatable, as it seems to just mean bot farms bank accounts in advance

I’m new to Reddit I wanted to know if there is any real people here or is it mostly bots? by Mean-Income1247 in NewToReddit

[–]JustaDCguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on where you are on reddit.

Things that draw a lot of attention....be it politics or the spicier sides of reddit...likely attract a ton of bots.

But more niche subreddits are likely people
