I don’t care about Karma, but to see a 0 after spending an hour on something means that it will not get seen (when I thought people would enjoy it). So in a way it invalidates my effort, and causes me to reevaluate what people would like to see (and, it seems my content may not be it).
Might be an idea to make your lemmy home on an instance that doesn’t allow down votes (those exist). People on other servers might still downvote it, but you won’t notice.
Why should their opinions on your content matter though? You gifted the world a meme, if they reject it thats their call. Who should be embarrassed, the person who gifts $100 or the person who rejects the $100 gift? You do you man

In fact, I think I’ll go do that myself.
