Spoiler alert: Reddit.

Why:

I am not talking about reddit’s shitty push to their shitty app, cf this or this.

Latterly, I had become a reddit addict. I killed a lot of time on reddit. I didn’t find reddit so toxic until recently. Reddit constantly recommend me posts from the same subreddit over and over. Some of those are actually fun, e.g. r/GhanaSaysGoodbye. I am just tired of this endless stream. Some are not so fun when you were someone in great depression. I subscribed to a few subreddits which are abounded with people like me make fun of ourselves. This is normally funny and useless. Latterly I became much more demoralized every time I visit those subreddit.

Every time I open popular tab, reddit gives me shits. The recommendation system of reddit won’t stop omitting rubbish. I have no way to opt out, even if I turn off data collection. It still shows me the old vibe it thought I might like. No, I don’t. And I never did some of those. I don’t know why reddit insists on giving the same thing over and over.

I had great fun discover new subreddits. Having been in the echo chamber for so long, and I find it hard to get out.
