Where does the “Karma Whore” meme come from?
The concept appears as early as January 2, 2000, on Slashdot in a comment related to *The Matrix*, accusing user Signal11 of artificially seeking karma. The term was discussed again on Slashdot on January 14, 2000, and defined ten days later on Everything2. Wired formalized it in print in July 2000 as someone publishing shamelessly to gain points. On Reddit, it pejoratively describes those who repost viral content or adopt conformist opinions to maximize community status. The advice animal meme emerged in August 2012 via user tankyoucomeagain, illustrating this figure with a woman leaning out of a car window.
