> Framing it as addiction is popular now but it removes user agency:

You can use the same reasoning on smoking too. Or any other drugs.

I am currently trying to get rid of my dependence, almost an addiction on Reddit. And nothing has been working, except blocking Reddit on DNS level in my router for all devices and all browsers equally. And even then I will write "reddit" into address bar several times a day to get no response from browser. Like a gambler pulling a slot machine which is not connected to power.

same here, i type in `news` and end up here dozens of time a day :)

At least we have the knowledge (and introspection) to work towards stopping this behavior.

Go take GLP-1s, they are an anti addiction measure.

Also this place is just orange Reddit. It’s no better than Reddit.
