Does Karma Actually Prevent Spammers/Bots?
Post Body

So after reading the FAQ page and such, I understand the basis of Karma (kinda). What confuses me is that wouldn't it be easier for a spam/Bot account to post in subreddits with no threshold and just Karma farm over the average idle redditor who occasionally comments and maybe never posts? Thus making the fake accounts more popular, or am I misreading that entirely? I suppose Shadow Bans would help with frequency in an attempt to farm, but I'm not sure if you can still get Karma with Shadow ban.

Man that sucks

It happens all the time since bots don't have lives and can hit karma requirements within a day where somebody would give up after a couple of days
