YC: How I Earned Karma While I Slept

I posted one mundane remark yesterday and woke up to see that my Karma has risen 12 points!

While I slept! Wow!

The secret: get others to debate under your small post.

I'm working on better techniques.

My goal: 1 Karma point per word.

Here's the actual thread:

            If it's any help: more blah blah blah.

             I should rephrase it: blah blah double blah.

               Yeah go ahead.

(edw519's note: In all fairness, this is the only response that I included verbatim.

Because it's the only one I read.)

                 So some good goals, in my opinion:

                 Long term: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

                 Medium term: blah blah blah

                 Short term: blah

                  Also...different blah blah blah

                   On subjectivity, I think that blah blah blah

                      I think we are talking past each other.

                      You are talking about bluh bluh bluh

                      I am talking about blah blah blah
