Every time I get a snarky, rude and shitty response from a user. 9 times out of 10 it is from users with hundreds to thousands of pointless karma points. My best guess is that it has really all gone to their heads and because of their high count, they think they’re speaking the golden words of the gospel with every comment that they make.
That nothing can touch them and that they’re validated so they can’t be argued against.
Do you check in on the profiles to see the karma count of people who you feel have a neutral or even positive personality?
Probably not. So you have no idea how the average person with “lots of ‘karma points’” tends to act. Instead, you’re looking at the profile of people who feel safe enough in a space to let themselves be seen as assholes.
This is like asking “why does drinking alcohol make everyone violent?” You’re just noticing the ones who are making a scene.
Yup. Huge selection bias.
The people bothering to post random negative comments arealso likely to have too much time om their hands, leading them to post a lot inn general. But there are also plenty of nice people woth too much time on their hands.
