I can't really fault Reddit for trying to figure out how to monetize the site and I'm certainly not in favor of pervasive hate speech, but I can't help but feel annoyed at all the gimmicks they're introducing like upvoted.com or the not-so-subtly promoted casual celebrity drop-ins to askreddit threads. I haven't visited in a few days and that trend is likely to continue. And honestly, there's no tangible reason for my loss of interest. I certainly don't have any better ideas as to how to solve these very real problems. All I know is I just want to forget about it.

When I realized I was spending more time reading r/guitar and r/wearethemusicmakers than playing guitar or making music, I deleted my account and only drop in about once a month to see if I've missed much of anything. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Just my take on it.

  Same with me and programming. I'm fine just browsing HN every other day and checking out slow small community boards like Lainchan.
