On the note of traffic, I still browse Reddit because it has niche communities that I want to interact with. However, I don't comment, post, or even up/downvote anymore. My interaction is now purely browsing, and I imagine it may be similar for other once-power users.

It's the same for me

Except, i try to give reddit as little traffic as possible, unless i need it for reference for something

It's annoying to me that sometimes I have to use Reddit because the only answer I can find to a problem I'm having is in a Reddit post or comment. I would prefer to never use it again, but I'll settle for only using it when strictly necessary.

And, don't forget to use uBlock among other add-ons to keep that infrequent visit as unlucrative for those fuckwads as possible.
