13/07/2026 Why do I even use Reddit

I've been in a bad mood all day. Work ticked me off, general people ticked me off, I managed to tick myself off over something that didn't happen because my brain is clever like that.

Now I find myself wondering why I even use Reddit when it only does the following.

1. Distracts me to doom scrolling

2. Makes me annoyed when I get into a completely meaningless argument with someone.

3. Never informs me on anything new that I don't learn somewhere else or via someone else eventually.

I got annoyed at myself today for being programmed in such a way that I impulsively seek out habits that never do me any meaningful good. Typically being here and just doom scrolling, amusing myself to death.

What benefit is there to using this site? I can't gain anything positive from it. Certainly can't gain any sort of meaningful notoriety as its all anonymous.

Nothing improves to worsens by me even being here... and as much as I'd like to see change in the world, I won't make a difference here.

Think I just need to abandon it all completely and forever.
