Well said. 13 years on my belt here as well. Deleted all posts and comments and never looked back.

I mentioned this in other threads as well, but only after quitting did I notice how the Reddit of today has actually not much in common with the site I joined many moons ago.

In the beginning it used to be a mostly text-based clunky forum type deal. And that's how I kept thinking of it throughout the years. While in reality, more and more of the most upvoted content recently has been the same braindead short video stuff as on other social media sites. Short attention span moving images; little to no actual substance. The Dopamine Slot Machine Doom Scroller (TM) patented and honed to perfection by our Silicon Valley Overlords.

It was only after quitting the Snoo cold turkey that I realized how much this kind of content was numbing my brain, how I waded through the stupid daily in search of in-depth forum-type threads, only to find less and less of it.

So yeah, all of this has been a net positive for me for sure.

Feels a bit like the proverbial frog being slowly boiled to death in shitty content without ever noticing, because the enshittification was so gradual.

So I guess, thanks /u/spez?
