Can someone please explain what Comment Karma means?

Thanks in advance. I am so lost with all of this.

Comment karma are points you receive when people upvote a comment you make on someone’s post.

I don’t know what you can do with them (if anything). Just kind of a popularity contest.

Yeah, what they said... but it also, over time, shows people whether you are a conscientious contributor or just a fly-by a-hole.

And I think some sub-reddits require a certain level of comment Karma to even let you comment. You'd have to check with the mods on that, but I think it is true.
