His fat mouth got me to download a Chrome extension for the sole purpose of excluding Reddit from my search results. Even Pinterest didn't get me that far.
I feel like I should thank him. Nothing has compelled me to break my reddit addiction more than this. RIF is still installed, many of my major subs are back, I could open it at any time. I've reflexively opened the app so many times in the last week just out of pure habit.
But every single time I open it on reflex, I immediately close it. I have not felt the compulsion to check Reddit for a week now and that's the first time that's happened in...I honestly can't remember. Maybe a decade.
30% of it is because I know the type of comments that are getting posted now, the type of crowd that is making up a good part of the active user base at the moment, and I have no real interest to read all of their corporate boot licking. But the other 70% is solidly because of spez. Spite is a compelling motivator to break a habit.
Same. I have been using reddit less and less over the years, but still finding myself scrolling at least 10-15 minutes a day. This was the point I havent been on for several days now.
I have found some indexed results for technical searches that went to close/scuttled links which made me giggle and go "oh yeah" and move on.
I have noticed they started restoring comments on my accounts, which i regularly often clean.
Wow. Body count!
