I feel like Reddit had improved me a lot in other ways. It taught me a lot about the experiences of demographics that I don’t deal with frequently, learned a lot of guitar, apps, shows, science, cooking, lawncare, etc, etc.

I used it to consume jokes and entertainment and stuff sure, but it also was my entry point into a lot of topics and really jump-started my ingestion of that information in a way that would be hard to replicate on any platform without a similar scale of adoption.

All the negative aspects of using electronics still applied, but I was getting a lot of positive results that I’ll miss now.
