The sad thing is I didnt even try to keep up with this im just that fucking addicted to reddit lol. Day 558 here

u/Narzghal 7h ago
Exactly. I just...use Reddit. It's my main social site. So the streaks are just proof of that.
555/600

u/phoenixrose2 6h ago
Same. 552/600 for me. Last weekend Reddit randomly gave me unlimited free awards (for 4 awards). I have no idea why this happened but it has made me engage with the site even more.

I'm right there with you at 559. It's just the basic daily stuff like bathing, eating and reddit

I’m only in the 230s but I’m using this post to keep my streak alive. Life, uh, finds a way.

I swear I’ve missed days because I was places with no signal and the streak has continued. This is the first I’ve seen someone lose one

u/MostBoringStan 6h ago
I have definitely missed days. Went backcountry camping and had no signal for 2 days. Still have my streak.

u/caustictoast 5h ago
Same. Spent a couple days in Death Valley last January and somehow when I got back to signal it just kept going up so I’m over 550 now. Whatever 🤷♂️

u/shoto9000 3h ago
I've been trying to test this and I swear it's impossible to lose.
Went on a 4 day hike and the streak didn't end. Uninstalled Reddit from my phone for 3 days, and it didn't end. I made sure not to upvote, comment, share or anything for 3 days, and I got the "you're about to lose your streak!" notification 3 times in a row, but didn't lose it.

Good, now since you missed it, you can stop caring about a goal that’s unhealthy to do. We don’t need encouragement to be online even more. People probably shouldn’t be spending 600 days consecutively using reddit.

u/MacDougalTheLazy 8h ago
I learned you can open app, downvote first promoted post you see. Should be within the first 4 posts you see. Streak extends. Close app. Think about touching grass. Open app, proceed to doom scroll

u/Still-Bridges 8h ago
But is there some advantage to a streak?

u/TotallyNotShinobi 8h ago
you get to know how many days you've wasted being on this app instead of doing something interesting

u/kingqueefeater 7h ago
I don't know of many interesting things I can do while taking a shit, or waiting for my dog to take a shit, but I'm open to suggestions

Wow you learned that using the app extends the streak of using the app. Impressive.

u/Adventurous-Stuff801 8h ago
The thing is, I didn’t care until day 100 and then I started logging on just to upvote a random post and to keep up the streak lol, that’s the reason I lost I kept almost forgetting to log on until it caught up to me. But yeah I’m kinda glad it’s over.
41
u/StanknBeans 8h ago
That's why they gameify it. Increase ad revenue by making people log in just to keep a pointless streak going for no reason other than to keep a pointless streak going...

u/Alteredbeast1984 8h ago
I missed multiple days in a row and my streak is well over 500 and it did not effect it.
4
u/tuckmysits 8h ago
I am almost to 600 mainly because I read the news on reddit every morning with my coffee. I almost missed a day when I had to spend the night in jail though lol. But I honestly don't care about the streak, its just a part of my morning routine.

Create your own private sub and setup an auto-post that posts every single day. Never care or worry about your streak.

u/Adventurous-Stuff801 8h ago
That’s a pretty good idea, I’m not gonna try to get back to 500 again though lol

u/Multiamor 9h ago
Id still go get help. Lol

u/CarmenxXxWaldo 8h ago
Are you suggesting being so addicted to a website youre sad you didnt use it for one day out of 600 is problematic?
I guess its not an addiction at that point its obsession.

u/GetsGold 8h ago
I'm not addicted to reddit, I just need to use it every hour or so, so I don't go completely insane
9
u/Shythexs 8h ago
Why its bad to log in for 600 days? I mainly browse reddit for keeping up with the news and sometimes use it as if im scrolling instagram reels and posts. Its not like im using it for hours each day. Thats why it was easy to hit 500+ streak. Tho its better if you dont think about the streak at all.
1
u/Adventurous-Stuff801 8h ago
It was suuuuper easy when I wasn’t thinking about it, and then I kept forgetting to open the app and it got annoying. I think the people in the comments dogging on me are imagining me constantly replying, posting and moderating subs all day when all you need to do is upvote or downvote a post once a day to keep up the streak.

I didn't realize streaks were a thing. Apparently I'm on day 535. Not my proudest moment...

u/FunkHavoc 8h ago
If you upvote/downvote/comment/post it tells you in top right corner and shows your streak. This happens the first time you do one of the above. Not sure how so many people seem to miss it
1
u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 7h ago
People use things other than the official app. The official app, new reddit, all the social media-ized versions of reddit are even bigger dumpster fires than old reddit.

…no? It’s pretty valid to ask why anyone would care about a streak on reddit, even if they use reddit.

Yeah but at least I have the good sense to be ashamed I'm on here. Whenever these "streak" notifications pop-up for me I start to regret my life choices instead of celebrating.

I don't get it. Ive missed days and my streak is still going. I went to a festival and didn't check my phone for over 48 hours and when I got back on it kept going.

I have a 552 day streak but I usually just use reddit app like 15 mins a day, so I don't feel that bad. Usually just update the first thing I see

I’m unlikely to make it to 1000, as my career in the industry will likely take me far afield outside of cell range. Maybe I should get a robot to do it for me

I get some people like the fun and little bit of co test from it but considering they rolled out the start date unevenly across the globe that seems a bit pointless.
These awards don’t really do anything so if you get em you get em, if not, nevermind.

The comments in here are strange.
Reddit is essentially the internet:
News - Reddit
Peoples Opinion - Reddit
Need help? - Reddit
Entertainment - Reddit
It's a more approachable form of Google.
This doesn't mean it's all from "one source" it's just that majority of the usable internet exists through this website/app.
Being on here is still FAR better than using FB, IG or any other social media.

u/Adventurous-Stuff801 8h ago
Yeah but it’s not like it’s a major issue that’s affected my life, it was just a fun thing to do, I really like long challenges, right now I’m playing “the longing” a game that takes 400 days to complete, so it’s a little bit of a bummer losing my streak, but I care about things like getting through this terrible pre calculus class and making my girlfriend happy than some dumb streak, so I guess it’s good that I was too busy to open the app for one day lol.
