Does high karma still matter on Reddit today ?

Hi everyone,

I always believed that once a Reddit account builds high karma, it automatically gets better reach and engagement on posts. But recently, I have started noticing something different.

Some newer accounts are getting more comments and upvotes compared to older accounts with much higher karma. This makes me fee like Reddit might now be focusing more on other factors like content quality, activity level and how relevant the post is to the subreddit.

Has anyone else noticed this shift or is it just my experience ?
