I think it keeps the people from saying what they want or how they want to say it. I saw an AskReddit post once that asked why do people on reddit sound like the same person. Well it was because in time, in order to keep or gain karma, everyone would eventually sound like the generic user.

Well in a sense it can be a good thing to keep people from saying anything. I am not interested in seeing hate, racism and other trash content.

But in other ways it can limit the visibility of good content if it was posted too late or was not up voted enough compared to other jokes or content.
