Muting subs that encourage shopping
I'm just going through and muting all the subreddits that I follow that relate to my current collecting/purchasing fixations and there are SO MANY. For me it's about labubus/skullspands, nail polish, sephora/makeup, perfume... There are many different things I'm into right now and I realized when I see things posted that I want, I am SO inclined to buy. I have a lot of swap reddits and buy from resellers and I feel "better" buying from them because they're less $ or not as wasteful, but wow, I am following so many subreddits that encourage my compulsive shopping and addiction. I used to use reddit information and I love the "ask historians" type subreddits, so I'm wondering if I can change this habit and use reddit in a different way. I have become so addicted to reddit in general, but I think it's so intertwined with the addiction now. Reddit is the only social media I scroll and open a million times a day. I think I'm rambling at this point lol, just wanted to put this out there because I feel almost a sense of fear muting these subs. Maybe some can relate.
