karma farm
A post engineered purely to harvest upvotes, usually by cynically pushing the hivemind's buttons.
Definitions
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.
As a verb: to deliberately post for upvote-hoarding purposes.
