    I just blocked *.reddit.com on my DNS servers. This page is history.

      I believe this will only hurt you more than it hurts them. You’re locking yourself out of a lot of useful posts and guides.

      Just don’t engage with the site. Remain a guest user. If you really wanna, use Tor to remain anonymous.

        There’s nothing on Reddit that can’t be found on actually reliable sites vs. internet randos.

        I blocked it from my search results on Google, and haven’t missed it.

          I’d argue otherwise- basically all of the searches I do have included “Reddit” in it because every other resource is either trying to get me to download something or is AI-generated spam

            All those sites using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) instead of making actual content ruined the internet.

            Personally, I’ll still be looking at stuff on reddit when relevant. Just keeping my adblocker active, everyone should be using one anyway. For those that don’t have one yet, I recommend ublock origin. They might get metrics, but they won’t get any ad money.

        Still show up as a unique IP address. Which is what ad companies only care about.

          Ad companies care if their ads go to a unique IP address, adblocker sees to that.
