I've successfully avoided reddit for many many years now, unless I must. The reason? It looks horribly ADDICTIVE smile emoticon I can think of a number of social/information networks that simply dipping my toes into started pulling me into and I had to go, "no no no no no no no no no don't get started with this". 4chan is likewise. imgur is another tumblr is another. I have a long list of places I've visited and said, "no no no no you're gonna get hooked" and avoid even now. smile emoticon
