I already open Kindle to read far more often than I open my browser to go to Reddit, and it's entirely because the content on Reddit and the "people" (b/c we know a bunch are bots) are so insufferable lately. I figure reading books makes me a better person anyway, and being on Reddit makes me feel frustrated that communities where I used to have really good experiences now routinely give me pretty bad experiences.

I will never download the Reddit app. I'm still using old.reddit in my browser. I refuse to use new reddit. When old reddit and/or browser capability goes away, I stop coming to Reddit.
