I used to spend hours a day on Reddit, if you add up all the little time waster breaks I take just scrolling on Baconreader.

Now i rarely visit the site.

    I had 3M karma over 4 accounts, and spent about 3-5h a day there. Been a daily user for 12 years, moderating some 1M+ user communities for 7+ years.

    Left reddit for good, never been back. Not once.

    I wasted so much time there that I took on a part time PhD to fill the gap, and I'm excelling at it.

    Thanks, u/spez... I guess?
