[ WP ] An apartment building where the rent is payed in Reddit Karma

It seemed like a good idea at the time, I had just had a son with my wife and we were looking for a cosy little apartment building to settle into for a few years. 
 
 `` No money required! Just Reddit Karma!'' was the words that greeted us when we met with the Landlord. 
 
 `` Reddit?'' I asked inquisitively. 
 
 `` Reddit! You know? the forum site where you can get upvoted and downvoted?'' 
 
 `` Oh right, yes of course!'' I feigned knowledge of the site, seeing as this was the best offer we had and seeing as we were low on money we decided to take it. 
 
 `` Now the rent for the room is 1000 Karma points a month, will that be an issue?'' 
 
 `` None at all'' I replied with a hint of nervousness. 
 
 So we set our move in date and I began researching everything about Reddit, famous users, famous threads, and easy ways to gain karma. I kept coming back to one site called buzzfeed which had a headline `` 12 WAYS TO EARN KARMA EASILY ON REDDIT, 10 WILL SHOCK YOU'', and whilst for the most part they were the same thing, they kept repeating a phrase. `` Reposting''. 
 
 After looking into it, apparently reposting is what the scum of Reddit do, they take others submissions and repost them weeks later while the subject is still fresh in people minds, some people are crazy enough to do it only days or even HOURS after the original submission with no regard for morality, they do it for the points. 
 
 I began redditing, I gained 250 karma points with one submission in the first hour, I was a natural! ( or so i thought ) We eventually moved in and by that time I had made just over my first one thousand karma points, which the landlord deducted from my reddit account, leaving me with 116 karma points. So I continued... 
 
... days past, weeks too I kept redditing and redditing, my wife and child lived life as I sat glued to my chair, thinking of new and funny things to say, interesting and thought provoking thread topics to create and smart-ass replies to comments which would gain me the sweet, sweet karma. 
 
 It was going well, I ca n't say it was fun ALL the time but by the end of our first year at the apartment I had over 20,000 karma points stacked up and saved, we could go on holiday ( using real money ) and do what we want without working on reddit for twenty months worth of rent. It was amazing! 
 
 Then it started going downhill, I made an unpopular opinion thread on /r/askreddit and was downvoted to shit, I lost 5,000 karma points in that one post. Them me and my wife began arguing, she was mad that I had n't made a significant improvement on my karma farming skills over the year and blamed me for losing large chunks of karma, I was angry because she expected me to cheat my way to the top. I became sloppy with my comments and my threads, I was starting to get downvoted more and more and the harder I tried to rectify myself the bigger the hole I was digging got. 
 
 Finally, it reached a climax. One stormy night at 2:24am, the wife and son was asleep soundly as I sat at my desk, staring at my karma balance. 
 
 132 karma points. 
 
 Rent was due in two days, I was screwed... That is until I remembered the Buzzfeed article. 
 
 `` Reposting'' 
 
 No, I swore never to repost, I wanted to keep my pride instead of stooping low and getting myself into the bad books of reddit. I searched for new ways to gain karma but it was n't working... 
 
 I HAD to repost. 
 
 I sat sweating in my chair, my finger hovering over the submit button. I had seen user /u/Self-Aware post something in /r/crafts that got him 100 karma points. I was stealing it, I was going to resubmit it. 
 
 Now I am here, the post I resubmitted was found out, I am now -12 karma, rent is due tomorrow, my family life is a mess and we are soon to be homeless. 
 
 TO ANYBODY WHO HAS READ MY STORY, PLEASE HELP ME GAIN SOME KARMA, SAVE ME.
