That’s what we call it still right, I’m not old, right? Anyway I’m horribly addicted to ragebait on reddit and despite being permabanned sitewide (can’t even make new accounts) I still keep going back to it. It’s obviously depressing and angering. It’s not fun!

    I really hate all my hobbies, they all have horrible experiences associated with them

    I deleted the (patched third party) app and removed all links from chrome history.

      Yup, and if you find that it’s still not enough then you can add more friction.

      For example, if there is a certain subreddit that you go to a lot and don’t want to, block that subreddit at the browser level.

      You could block the entire website, but you don’t want to get into the habit of unblocking things (ex. If you need to access a post with some resource, after coming across it when searching). Better to block what you need to block, instead of overdoing it.
