The "obligatory" jokes, copypasted every time someone writes a certain thing. I would always downvote them. I am thinking about blocking users that continue that here.

This is why I don’t want account karma to be a thing here. I see other comments, even in this thread, asking for account karma. I have never treated it as a barometer of trustworthiness and I can’t understand why people do.

Account karma encourages the bandwagon behavior of obligatory jokes to pump up karma for no effort. People will still make the jokes without it, but I firmly believe it was made way worse with the psychological gamified system that was karma.

Account karma also created a market for selling accounts because advertisers would want to buy high karma accounts. This caused repost bots to become common and they were really ruining reddit. You'd see the same few posts show up constantly.

Every single post about world war II Germany: I did Nazi that coming.
