    I hate how Reddit conditioned my brain to see score before the actual content and make up my mind about it before even reading it.

    I don’t say scores aren’t important to have some kind of loose groupthink quality control but it all has as many cons as it has pros and there isn’t really a perfect solution just least bad.

    Also it is the main thing making social media so addicting when you receive points and I want internet to serve me and not I serve the internet.

    If a phone/site/program makes everything possible to be as addictive then it actually makes you a slave to it imo instead of it being a useful tool enriching your experience and serving to maybe get more useful information or open to new ideas
