Yeah that's a perspective I understand and I will miss some of that. However for myself at least the removal of Reddit appears to be beneficial to me to such a degree as to out weigh the loss.

But I already have had the benefit of 13 years of reddit opening my eyes andt 13 years of growth and experience from teenager to a responsible adult at the same time so don't feel the mind broadening the same extent any more.

Yeah, that was my immediate next thought as well. I've gotten so much benefit, developed so many interests from large scale community postings. I don't know where such a thing will exist in the future for my kids, if at all. I hope time proves this to be a foolish concern and I'll look dumb for posting such a question on the platform that answers the question.
