I look at Lemmy far less than I did Reddit.

I read only one subreddit still and it is Am I The Asshole, it is very easy to spot the ads because only one add matches the format of the posts. Anything that doesn't start with AITA is an ad.

That gives me way more time to read books that I have been putting off. Starting with a few books by Cory Doctorow who coined that term enshittification.

It is a lot easier to make time for reading when watching a video will mean an ad before, during, and after every 5 minute clip. I subscribe to a few news shows so I can listen to them as podcasts while I work to support without having ads.
