How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

But… how does high karma help that ?
The account looks more real. A ten year reddit account with a bunch of real comments and 100k karma looks like a human being, so when they post something like “Razer mice have really gotten amazing over the past couple years! I have the new Naga and I couldn’t live without it” on the PC gaming subreddit, there’s a higher chance that looks like a real recommendation from a real human than a paid ad.
Additionally, reddit (as clunky as it is) has some stuff going on under the hood to detect folks with multiple accounts or when folks are making new accounts to ban evade. Getting an older account handed over to you is going to pass more smell tests then making a new one on your end.
It’s also easier to weasel your way into karma-threshold communities or even mod positions if your goal is longterm usage.
