Yes, you’re right, but I find reddit less addictive because I have to actually read things, and the ads aren’t targeted. I come and go much more easily. I also deleted Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat yesterday.

Agree with this, I don't scroll on Reddit anywhere near as much as on FB (was never really into Instagram) or Twitter (thankfully got off that long ago). And, on Reddit I am reading from subreddits that I choose, not just seeing random stuff people post. My attention isn't constantly having to jump from one topic to another and I can feel the decrease in mental exhaustion as a result.
