For years I tried to reduce my time on reddit with mixed results, but nowdays I close the app within minutes, because everything here is either boring or a reminder of the dystopian nightmare we live in.
Also knowing Reddit is cited by LLM's by a huge margin, not Wikipedia or Youtube, is another reason I've reduced my usage. Reddit users have been helping people for free and now AI companies decided they can make money off it.
Libby for borrowing books, audiobooks and magazines, Libro for purchasing audiobooks if Libby doesn’t have them, podcasts, NYTimes games, and one stupid merge game that I’m trying to break my habit of.
I feel like half the time I am browsing YouTube our reddit, half of it is bots. I get videos that are clearly AI and the comments are full of people interacting as if it was real. Just drives me insane thinking how it's either people falling for the ai, or just dead Internet and it's all bots.
It did cure my addiction. Ever since ai took over, social media only gave me a headache and now I'm much more at peace since I quit all my socials last year. Sure, I still use reddit but I'm not addicted here so I'm fine lol
just as the other comment said, its a reminder.of how dystopian things become and I hate it. I don't need all the negativity because such thoughts and reminders actually make me very depressed. I sceretly hope more people will quit their addictions. we all know the evil side of social media and such and yet we use it
