Daniel,
3 years ago when I left the Silicon Valley I got rid of my great big plasma screen TV and went to a smaller DVD / monitor all-in-one combo.
I realized about 30-60 days later: I didn’t miss it at all.
During my last vacation ( 17 days ), I promised myself to not read reddit.
17 days later, I didn’t really miss it that much. The content there is usually a few good programming articles and then a whole lot of nonsense. Reddit is like a big bowl of pasta: your guts tell you it’s tasty and delicious, but you wind up bloated and in need of a few laps—that you probably won’t take.
So, should people be reading reddit? Probably not. If they want to waste time on the internet in a slightly better fashion, reddit versus collegehumor or digg is a good place to start, but I’m of the suspicion that:
would keep one informed and give one a ton of time to do other things ( work on a startup, learn to bal-swing, foment political change, or to have some quality time with their SO ).
