- zer0zzz 3y agoI know a lot of folks that get this by avoiding device upgrades. If you’re living off of an iPhone 7 with an old os and a brand new battery it’s amazing the things you can’t get addicted to while also still being able to have the modern text and calling capabilities.
- bpye 3y agoThe killer for me is the web browser, that’s how I access Reddit on my phone these days and it can be a big time sink…
- Twinklebreeze 3y agoI hear Reddit is actually working to help people cut down usage. Worked really well for me. I'm down to 0 hours.
- ambrose2 3y agoCould you elaborate? What are they doing?
