I had an anonymous account on Reddit, aside from my main account that I use to connect with people in my industry (potentially the only positive reason I use Reddit), and I used my anonymous account to reply in /r/politics correcting people and highlighting misinformation. You can’t imagine how much negativity and downvotes I’d receive - none of them, NONE like to be corrected with facts. None. In fact, they’d all melt when you’d prove them otherwise.

I believe my anonymous account got so negative in karma that Reddit shadowbanned my main account, because I can post/comment but never get upvotes/replies - and I used to get tons, because I typically helped industry people.

This was a recent observance since everything went down with Reddit.
