I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to keep going back to Reddit for tech issues. There's over a decade of information there and it'll take a long time before any alternatives can compare.

Seriously! I ended up blocking reddit and its subdomains with my pihole so that I'd stop clicking on things from google searches.

I setup TimeLimit to block the reddit apps for some time. I hope it can help you with the redde-addiction.
