I started exactly like this. I wanted to get more and more points as soon as possible; You would ask why ?
I wanted to appear smarter than I actually am :(
One of the reasons was to fill the void of me not being able to socialize. Eventually as time progressed, I stopped caring about these fictitious karma points and use this place to improve my self.
I think it is not bad to want more karma, IMHO, the thing that matters is how does one gets there.
This may not be something that helps you immediately, but I feel, if you stick around enough; karma will follow :)
Good Luck!

I haven't started a single thread. People just beat me to everything, but that's OK with me. I share the links on another platform where people don't read HN. ;-)
But I try to make comments that are helpful to others, based on my long experience, a lifetime of reading, and interesting hobbies. Sharing is caring, though I'll now and then go off on a rant about some vile behavior.
You'd be surprised what registers with people. I got a lot of follow-ups when I commented on optics and photography. Nice.
But I am not in it for the points. I don't even know what to do with them. Just to be in good company, find a wealth of information (I hit the "new" link ) and maybe contact some neat people.

Nobody cares about your karma score except you.
Anyway, write thoughtful comments, not clickbait, and it will slowly rise.

share good contents
Writing blog posts about how to manage the unbearable weight of incalculable genius is probably a good way to get the number up.
