What? No, you would lose 4 karma every time you did that (+1 from the upvote; -5 from the transfer). The karma transfers are zero-sum. Though, you could give half the people who upvote this 1 karma and come out ahead.
I was reading "this" as "this post" - one upvote is worth 10 karma, so that's +5 for each of them.
Yes, "this" meant the post, not the comment.
Oh. Yeah. That makes a lot more sense. Sorry.
He could give them karma by upvoting their comments. No-one's suggesting a finite amount of karma.
Oh. Yeah. You're right. I guess we should have a rule that karma transfers should be zero-sum, and you shouldn't upvote a post unless you actually like that particular post.
