For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

I prefer the content, but reddit as a service is absolute garbage. I still check in on it every once in a while because there's a question or something I see the answer to after googling it and I can't stand browsing there for more than a minute or two.

The sponsored content and ads are just everywhere and disguised like user accounts making a post or comment and it's infuriating. You can't even use reddit on your phone unless you download their app, browsing the web version is practically impossible because "they can't confirm you are over 18 for some of the content" as if they can confirm your age through the app and they don't care if you are on desktop.

Reddit is a garbage company when it comes to their users, they quickly became one of my top most despised companies up there with nestle
