Personally I was browsing Reddit for 1-3 hours a day from my phone (3rd party app) and the website. After this whole debacle, I haven’t been on once. This drama is exactly what I needed to step back and see that Reddit wasn’t actually providing me much value other than a place to scroll when I’m avoiding work or avoiding responsibilities. I can’t remember the last time I felt like I learned something valuable there. It used to be id learn about a random subject from some random expert who had lots to say in a random subreddit. Now, even after continually pruning, all the stuff that comes up in my feed would be considered mental junk food. So seeing how the users are seen by the Reddit big wigs was just final nail in the coffin. Someone once said to quit smoking you should imagine the CEO of the smoking company laughing at how dumb you are, and how you’re a sucker. The idea being that once you see the manipulation, it’s easier to see how you’ve been manipulated and therefore easier to break it. Well, ladies and gentlemen, imagine what spez is saying about you all right now.
