A reputation score earned through upvotes on your posts and comments.
Karma is Reddit's reputation system. Users earn karma when their posts or comments receive upvotes, and lose it from downvotes. Karma is split into post karma and comment karma. While karma doesn't have direct monetary value, it serves as social proof and can affect your ability to post in certain subreddits (many have minimum karma requirements). For Reddit marketers, building genuine karma through helpful contributions is essential before promoting products — accounts with low karma are often flagged as spammers.
