Karma is read from rendered text, so `karma` is the total Reddit displays and `post_karma` + `comment_karma` come from the tooltip beside it; any of the three may be null if Reddit renders the profile without that block. The page surface is materially less reliable than this site's fragments — pace requests and treat a 503 as retryable."  }}
