Comment on What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit?

Try to remember that Reddit spent years using algorithms and dark patterns specifically designed to addict you and create deeply ingrained behaviors ased around their feed to create the exact situation you are dealing with now.

I struggle with the same thing, I want off Reddit but have been visiting daily since 2011 so it’s not easy. Don’t be too hard on yourself and keep weaning yourself off the habit. It may take some time but you can do it. This was done to you, and it’s pretty damn insidious, but it’s not a severe gambling addiction or crack cocaine ultimatelt so it’s low stakes. You’ll get there and good for you for trying.
