Karmawhoring, while fun for a while, tends to lead one into… non-optimal directions.
Non optimal. It can’t be unless somehow max-karma happens to coincide with whatever other maxima is being searched for. But it is also unlikely to be net detrimental or a sufficient deviation from optimal to be worth focussing on as a problem.
I would consider the size of the replies thread (which is visible, though not as obvious as karma) to be a better metric of readership and impact.
That’s a better metric of controversy than impact. It is a reasonable indicator of readership.
