I also decided it's as good a time as any to rip reddit out of my daily life, after using it for the better part of the last 10 years.

Between the crushing "download our tracking riddled app" / "switch to our shitty new redesign" push recently and massive amount of engineered sponsored content, instead of paid-for advertisement, there's nothing there keeping me interested. This most recent funding round is just icing on the cake.

It's only a matter of time before they go down the twitter path and outright ban third party apps.




I appear to have independently parroted your comment! I do apologise. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels that way though!


I quit cold turkey from ~1 hour a day in 2014 to zero and have never regretted it once.


I tried that but I get FOMO. Like I feel like I get to discover so many interesting things (news about niche games etc) because of Reddit but at the same time I also hate it.
