karma farm

What does karma farm mean?

A post built like a slot machine — designed to print karma rather than say anything real. Reposted wholesome dog pics, recycled inspirational quotes, low-effort 'Reddit moments' — the genre is wide. The point isn't the content, it's the number going up. Often a prelude to selling the account later.

"Account is two weeks old and already 50k karma — total karma farm, probably getting sold to a scammer."

Origin

Reddit-native; emerged alongside the wider 'farming' metaphor in gaming/grinding culture.
