Yeah yeah yeah. Let's just dismiss the entire site without regard to the fact that there are actually some very good subs on it.

  I think reddit still allows you to turn subreddits into rss feeds, which seems like a better way to consume content without the distractions.

  Working your way around Reddits problems and dark patterns while still feeding the content machine and contributing to its network effect isn't really a superior solution, either. Also, this is just a personal anecdote, but ditching Reddit was one of the best ideas I've ever had. There's good stuff in there, but also a lot of obvious and hidden advertisement and it's very easy to get lost and spend hours just scrolling.

    Not really. I use either Apollo or Relay (depending on what device I have in my hand) and only subscribe to the subs I want to view. I do not have to work my way through anything. Here are a few because I know someone will ask: /r/personalfinance /r/TropicalWeather /r/homelab /r/homeserver /r/datahoarder /r/Bogleheads /r/pizza Edit: Now, will someone post some BS on one of those subs? yes, sometimes. But the mods tamp it down pretty quick.

  You forget that those subs could be replaced by a more practical forum.

    Could they though?
