Yes but karma makes it worse. It incentivizes getting getting upvotes because you don’t want to “ruin” your karma. Expressing controversial opinions, even if they don’t generate downvotes, are discouraged with karma. Even OP says he gets a dopamine hit by seeing the karma number go up.
I don’t like karma. It incentivizes short, meme-y posts since those are things that get gets a lot of karma.
People forget that when Reddit first started, it only supported link submissions and then later self submissions. That’s how imgur got started - it was a gift to the users. It was only relatively recently when Reddit supported image and video hosting.

This doesn’t help for Gmail. I moved to a different part of the country and I have a spam email account that isn’t connected to a phone or second email. Even with the right password, it wouldn’t let me log in because I was trying to sign in from a different location and no secondary way to authenticate.
Luckily it was a spam email so it was just annoying to recreate some accounts I used for that email, but yeah ve warned.
