Reply to comment by Snuggoth in Positive childhood experiences of blue spaces and adult well-being. Individuals who recalled more childhood blue space experiences tended to place greater intrinsic value on natural settings, visiting them as adults – which increases better mental wellbeing by Wagamaga

Reddit might as well just start up it's own first party click farm or just accept money directly to market whoever's business.

Same with universities. They're not going to deny free money, there are just too many people involved in a big institution that will use/want that money.

Dunno why I still come to these big subreddits while knowing i'm just going to be marketed at. I think part of it is because I enjoy reading comments, but even comments and users/bots are being bought.

If you’re anything like me, you come to the big subreddits to know how what the internet-engaged part of the collective consciousness is thinking, is aware of and what they are paying attention to. Reddit is a great aggregator for the types of people and opinions you’ll see when you venture out into the real world and gives you tremendous insight into how and what people think. This is especially useful in the current era where people in the real world are largely still obscuring just what parts of the internet they are engaged with.
