Yeah I used to be a huge Redditor trying to constantly keep up with the memes and funny content of the day. After quitting it made me realize how much a slave I was to the platform and how much I needed my hit of random funny crap.

I used HN as a replacement for the industry news and to remove all the other extra junk. Which seems to be working since I only visit about once a day for 15-20 minutes and don't feel a compulsive need to check it constantly for fear of missing something since there's a lack of memes and in-jokes.

I installed LeechBlock to limit me to 15 minutes of Reddit every day. At first, I was hitting it with my morning coffee. These days, I rarely use the entire 15 minute allotment (although I did today).
