I was unable to do that. The pull of /r/all and that sweet, sweet dopamine hit! Or dipping into the rage bait or anything political…

If what you’re saying works for you that’s fantastic! It absolutely didn’t work for me. My assessment is that I lack the discipline required.

Plenty of rage bait exists in hobbies too. There’s an entire subreddit for that. HN isn’t immune to that too obviously.
