People really are bizarre addicts. Companies will literally blatantly say they hate you and your moderately healthy use patterns; and people will desperately try to use the site until they eventually get around to killing the service

It took a long time, my account is 15 or 16 years old, but I've not visited the site in a couple of months now. Addict that I was, they managed to cure me with their latest changes, hallelujah.

I've been trying to cut Reddit usage since I first heard about their impending IPO a few months ago, actually. When they killed i.reddit.com and the /i suffix, it tripped my alarm bells and I realized I shouldn't keep relying on Reddit for much.

I've successfully eliminated it from most of my recreational time, but Reddit posts are still often useful when I'm debugging an error or researching a purchase. When that happens, I'm glad I have the /.i suffix set up on my phone and old reddit redirect on my laptops. Quitting cold turkey is hard anyway, might as well use any hacks available that make the site easier to use while I cut down my use.
