The 'Karma Whore' meme is a staple of Reddit and social media culture, used to describe users who go to extreme lengths—such as reposting popular content, fabricating stories, or jumping on trending bandwagons—solely to accumulate 'karma' or likes. While the term originated as a derogatory label for low-effort posters, it has evolved into a self-deprecating joke within many online communities. The meme typically features imagery of people begging, hoarding rewards, or specifically the Reddit 'Upvote' arrow icon. It serves as a humorous commentary on the dopamine-driven nature of social media validation and the often absurd lengths people will go to for digital approval.
