Thanks, but not going there.
The reddit break has been great for me, apart from agreeing with 'the cause'. As much as I will miss the content, I will now do other things.
I never saw it as an addiction, but a pleasant habit, and a very easy one to break.
Bye, bye 5k+ points (in about c4 months).
I was actually quite proud of that.
Now, it can all rot in hell.

Reddit has been kind of bad for my mental health. Like many I refresh the various front pages hoping for my next dopamine fix - addicted to the low commitment required and instant gratification. I let the little karma number affect me way too much - I have started to hate such gamification of forums.
Guess I will get my fix elsewhere now and hopefully someday I will stop altogether and make better use of my time. Reddit going bad just makes it a tad easier.
