Yes it does. Some filtering is done by reddit and some by the mods. Also your votes don’t count if you don’t have certain amount of karma accumulated on the sub you are voting.
That is usually to avoid bots. Any normal person can easily get a couple hundred karma by just posting a bit or commenting a few times, but any bot doing the same is gonna undergo scrutiny.
Bots just repost comments that were popular in the past and get huge amounts of karma, then delete said post before anyone catches on and starts and downvote wave.
It impacts what you post as people game the system or even just refrain from opening a new dialouge or saying somthing controvertial.
That number needs to be sold to you with hype, reddit did that because it drove traffic and addicted people. People putting a short 2 word answer just to farm karma, relizing it or not.
Trolls love and others don relize how reddit hilighting the golden number makes people have a varry weak mind. to me, you and others, its a mild static electric shock. To the artifitially grown man babies, its an electricution

If you have less than x amount of karma on a good portion of subReddits you can’t post at all.
