Same.
I actually feel that my stubbornness has made my life better in this case.
I've been to Reddit since, but I no longer feel the need to scroll it. I just use it when I went to find a genuine human recommendation on a topic.
There is still a certain excellence to the model of how interaction works for how I enjoy consuming online conversations. It reminds me of a better old school forum experience.
I do still use reddit when I find search results for things I want to know, especially where reddit was the biggest community for some topics but I usually end up there from search engines.
