Exactly what I thought! I deleted the Reddit Apollo app when I realized I was using for over 3 hours a day. Now I catch myself sometimes using the mobile version. But the fact that they keep going out of the way to make it work and worse everyday means I actually get to stay away from it.

What are your favorite alternatives to stay in tune with what's happening now? I browse r/all multiple times daily for a bit. I don't get a lot of need-to-know information from it, but some things I like to see are movie trailers, big tech announcements (Xbox Series X yesterday), and in general, things that everyone seems to be "in the know" of. It's my main pop culture news outlet, but I feel like it shouldn't be.

I think you'll find that if you just quit worrying about "what's happening now," you'll find that you aren't actually missing anything.
