What you're actually witnessing here is the first 'karma farmer' in this version of TIL. He's just going to reddit TIL and reposting content from there. He probably hasn't checked a single site or anything that he's submitting.

Fun fact: there's no karma to farm on Kbin - I'm adding content to Kbin to make it a fun, thoughtful place to be. If I posted things as articles - there might be some karma involved, IDK. But I post links, no karma to get. See, friend? No one's out here trying to game the system.

karma/reputation it's the same thing. Exactly what fun do you think you're providing by rehashing the same topics that get posted weekly over at Reddit?

Everybody contributes something to Kbin. I'm contributing the articles, and you're contributing the arguments.
