Unpopular opinion: Reddit karma is a terrible way to measure whether someone is worth listening to.

Someone can have 100k karma and still post the dumbest take imaginable, while a brand-new account can make a genuinely great point and get ignored because nobody knows them.

I also find it hilarious that some communities basically make new users prove themselves before they're allowed to participate.

Maybe I'm completely wrong though 💀

What's a Reddit opinion you have that you know would get you absolutely cooked in the comments?
