It's reddit. There's a very good chance most of the content on the entire site is staged, because fake internet points mean something to some people.

They’re internet points but they’re not fake. Bitcoin also means a lot to many people :)
You can exchange btc for currency though... Reddit karma can only be bought and accumulated.
And then the account can be sold. Or you can post for money if you’re more interested in renting.
Selling farmed accounts isn't lucrative. You can buy an account with 10K thread karma and 50K comment karma for $50-100.
True, one is more useful than the other but neither of them is fake was my point
