I think comments get diminishing returns. If you check the user profile it is still in positive.

I don't know what reddit gold does but could they have given themselves those 12 to counteract the downvotes?

The amount of karma you can lose from a single comment is limited to a quite small number

No, its just some flair given to your post (and you) by someone donating money to reddit. In this context I imagine its meant as a small bit of snark.

One thing to keep in mind is that Reddit used to normalize votes until about a year ago or so, such that it was exceedingly rare for a post to get beyond triple digits (both positive and negative). I wonder how many older unpopular comments would have made it into the negative six figures if vote totals had been uncapped sooner.
