Yeah that's what I've tried to do, numerous times, but it just ends up with the same result. I'm not there for the karma, the gilding or the fluffed up overreaching attempts to keep you on Reddit with unnecessary features. What kept me coming back was the micro communities. If I was nostalgic, there's a subreddit. If I was into restoration, building or design, there's a subreddit. Stuff like that.

Though I keep making the mistake of running into the motormouth subreddits. The ones where people tell phony stories, one up eachother in who's life has it worse or better, pointless flexes, ranting about first-world problems and wondering if it's okay to still go to the bathroom. Just nothing but shit post after shit post of people practically dumbing themselves down while also dumbing down the people who bother to read their shallow and inane attempts at socializing.

It's nauseating.
