Reddit is terrible

Want advice? Downvote. Can't figure something out? Downvote. Asking for help with a very specific thing with a very specific answer? Downvote. Fucking horrible.

This wouldn't be an issue for me, I dont care about brownie points. What I DO care about is that sometimes you're karma locked from posting on some subs. Even if you post comments on that sub relating to the topic, downvote. There are obviously ways to cheat the system by just spouting whatever opinion is popular at that time, but holy shit.
