How do you gain karma on Reddit when you constantly get blocked and filtered?<p>I am a cybersecurity expert and I have experience in writing decent technical content (like https://blog.vidocsecurity.com/blog/hacking-swagger-ui-from-xss-to-account-takeovers/ or https://www.moczadlo.com/2024/delightful-inputs-with-intellisense-and-syntax-highlighting)<p>It is almost impossible to translate it into Reddit karma - I tried posting content on some of the subreddits, but I simply can't cause of minimal karma requirements.<p>Reddit said that you need to comment before being allowed to post content on most of the subreddits, but for me, it is really hard to find interesting posts I could comment on.<p>It is far easier to create new engaging content, than finding ways of contributing to existing content. You need to filter through hundreds of bad posts to find a couple of interesting ones and be early enough to add value through comments.<p>How do you do it?

Sorry.. you're saying ..<p><pre><code> > It is far easier to create new engaging content, than finding ways of contributing to existing content.

Yes. This is tine consuming. Filtering takes time and effort. Remind me, how do you know your content is interesting and engaging?<p><pre><code> > You need to filter through hundreds of bad posts to find a couple of interesting ones and be early enough to add value through comments.

Yes. But, in any subject. Karma is earned across Reddit.<p>Your desire to achieve a high karmic outcome for low effort is hardly laudable. Do you think this deserves karma?
Um, if you're an actual cybersecurity expert, positively perceived by others, you can contact forum mods to be allowed to post. No whining if they disagree with you. Go to the website and see the sidebar links.
Don't waste your efforts on this shit dude. Reddit is a playground for autists with awful mental impairments. If you aren't one you ain't going to get a lot of karma.<p>If you still want to try, there are communities like r/lostgeneration, r/antiwork and suchlike, where you can post almost any kind of stuff provided that it is utterly depressing and far left too, and will get lots of upvotes. Don't forget to upvote those imbeciles too lol! Open secret is that this is how these recommended-by-default communities operate: they are karma mills.
