I don’t have fun at all - when I work out just to “work out,” anyway. Then I have to think about it sort of like physical medicine. I do it cause it’s good for me.

But if I can find a way to get the heart pumping that’s primarily about doing an activity, with fitness just being secondary, I have a lot more fun. I recently got into boxing for fitness because kneee trouble was making high-impact cardio painful. Love it. Training becomes something to look forward to because boxing is fun rather than metaphorical castor oil that I swallow down because I need to.

He thinks RIF and Apollo - both of which I have personally used - don’t add any value to Reddit? Lmao what a shithead

Also love the gaslighting of “um actually sweaty nobody likes the blackouts and everyone just thinks they’re annoying 💅”

Read The Road in high school and Blood Meridian in college. When I finished those books, I was a different person from when I started them.

The death of Apollo is literally why I’m starting to look at online spaces other than Reddit as my go-to

I unfortunately think 1 is the most likely, at least for now. A one-time disruption won’t be enough to sink Reddit. What could permanently change things is the sustained build-up of viable alternatives over time. So I guess you can look at the blackout stuff not as the end for Reddit, but maybe the canary in the coal mine for a gradual descent.
