    Maybe so. It wouldn’t be the first time - I’ve left platforms that have gone downhill before and I’ll do it again. But it is psychologically difficult to let go of a site that I’ve used for over a decade and made so many connections through. That’s how they get you I suppose, the sunk cost fallacy.

      Yup, I left facebook a couple of years ago and it was hard at the time. Now I’m reminding myself that I don’t miss facebook now that time has passed, so I probably won’t miss reddit either.

      For sure. I feel the same way. I feel like I’ve developed hobbies from niche subreddits I’ve discovered over the years. Makes me wonder what other interests I could get into if I stuck it out. But I won’t be doing that with their horrible mobile app, or to be spammed to use the mobile app every time I access the site from a mobile browser.

      I’ve made my peace with it and I’m going to move on.
