Exactly. I still occasionally land there due to google searches for obscure tech issues, but that’s only to read and lurk. I used to be a regular poster, (I had ~1.2m karma between all my various accounts) but haven’t even commented since the API lockout.

Same here. Spend several hours a day on reddit since 2014, but haven't logged in since the API shutdown. Only the occasional Google search brings me there.
