When I write this, DanG is at 63,770 karma. Granted, he is active and therefore accumulates karma faster than a mostly-lurker like me. Still: 200 points of karma would not be soon for me. I doubt my karma will grow with 200 points in 2023, actually. For me, more than 3 upvotes on one comment is a lot; about half of them don't get any vote (up nor down).

Apart from the obvious (content not worthy of vote) it could also be due to timing: arriving late on popular posts (like this one); posting at times when the majority of HN is not active here (I'm posting from Europe). But I didn't think that effect would be huge...

Anyway, point is that 200 karma is a lot in my experience. Either I'm doing this HN thing quite wrong, DanG is doing it superbly, or "soon" is quite a stretch. Perhaps all three simultaneously?

I think if you're doing HN for karma, you're doing it wrong.
