I am so glad, that new redesign probably saved me hundreds of hours of free time, now I cringe every time I have to use Reddit, pretty radical productivity boos

  Couldn't agree more. They lost me after 8+ years of Reddit.

  For those of us struggling with online distractions, I couldn't agree more. One thing that made Reddit so hard for me to control was that, even after deleting your account, browsing subs and comments was just entertaining enough. Now, it's horrible. Thanks Reddit!

  Never thought of this way. Social media hubs have become so bad over the years that it’s just not fun anymore to use them. It’s a huge win.

  I nuked pretty much all my comments and walked way from my account perhaps a year ago now. That sounds kinda absurd in the context of a website, but I personally did need that kind of 'clean break' in my head to put it behind me. Now I only touch the site briefly by happenstance when seeking some particular piece of information, my starting point being elsewhere, and I quickly dip out. That pattern of use is starkly different to how reddit is commonly used, as a starting point and jumping-off-point for a session of low-to-no-direction browsing. I've lost nothing. My time goes on things that are significantly more productive, like online gaming and polishing my nails. I'm only half joking. I hope reddit's slow decline continues rather than hitting some sudden turning point, because the alternative is some new clone coming along and everyone migrates like happened with digg redesign. That would just perpetuate the situation for another decade or two, and that would be a shame.
