I spent a fair amount of time on reddit over something around 15 years (I think) and not once did I happen upon someone with -100 karma that didn't earn it by being a troll. I found it very useful to be able to weed out people who weren't actually commenting to further the conversation, but derail it. Is that the type of thing you're talking about not wanting?

Frequently though people with -1 to -10 karma on a comment were just saying something that went against the hive or even dared to question it.

As an experiment sometimes I'd say something slightly against the tide, nothing even provocative. It would get downvoted into the basement and I'd see it start slowly then it would get pigpiled on. Then I'd post the same comment, say, a few hours later and it would be strongly upvoted. The same pattern of slowly getting upvoted and then rapidly increasing.

Yeah, definitely-- I'm going through a bit of that myself right now, but I don't think that makes a karma system worthless.
