The level of post karma earned in this subreddit is at an all-time low

r/CryptoCurrency is currently ranked #5 for posts per day, #2 for comments per day - yet is ranked #601 for post karma. This is a huge discrepancy not seen in other top subreddits. I analysed this below:

Top 50 subreddits (by subscriber count) + 3 subreddits offering crypto rewards. Subreddits typically have a karma ranking similar to their posts per day ranking (a value of ~1) - or a higher karma ranking (value of >1).

The other 2 subreddits that offer crypto rewards (fortnitebr, ethtrader) are also low - but nowhere near as low as r/CryptoCurrency.

This is either because (i) users are reluctant to reward a post (ii) users are spamming low-quality posts (thus raising the posts per day count) in an attempt to farm rewards. Or, in reality, a combination of both.

Whatever the reason, we are now at an all-time low:

On Jan 1st 2021, we ranked #87 for posts per day and #121 for post karma. By May (BTC's $64k ATH), the gap had widened to #4 for posts per day and #345 for post karma.

I was not able to find another subreddit with such a large gap at present.

In other words, across all of Reddit - r/CryptoCurrency is the sub where you have to either work the hardest or be the luckiest in order to earn karma.
