Honestly It's been way worse for me lol, the discussions here are actually meaningful so I can sink way too much time reading threads instead of getting bored after looking at 5 consecutive reposted memes on reddit
Edit: I'm not complaining though, this is definitely better
i hope the bulk of reddit stay where they are now. we dont need those really.
The only thing that somewhat bothers me is that, if I Google something 8/10 times I'll have a reddit thread(s) as the top result. I don't feel like giving reddit revenue or clicks though. (I do have adblock on PC and revanced on the reddit app so I try to minimise it).
But instead of using reddit every 1hr or so for 15min, I now use reddit 1 a week maybe for 10mins.
I work in IT and reddit is (and will probably remain) a huge resource for my job. So I don't think that's going anywhere any time soon. Not using them as my main "feed" is a huge boon though.
Yep! Slowly we'll eventually get rid of it. Just like any migration :)
