Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

Totally agree. And I'm now using more of my time to relearn all the Spanish I've forgotten over the last 20 years and even improve beyond my previous level.

I also made the decision to try to use my social media/YouTube/web-browsing time on learning new things. When I'm in the mood for more mindless activities, I generally opt for watching videos where people bring positivity into the world in some way or another.

I pop on here once a day or every couple of days to fart around a very short while and then I'm back to doing my thing.

I occasionally end up on Reddit because a web search had results from there that were intriguing for whatever I was looking up. I never go in as a registered user anymore and those few times I do end up there, I'm in and out without going any farther than the thread that came up in the search results.

Thanks, Spez, for helping me take back my life!
