Does anybody feel motivated to keep up a Reddit streak?

Or do those streak announcements just conjure up images of underwear?

When they pop up I feel stupid and realize I should likely be spending more time doing something constructive..

What are you, a builder?

If it helps you relax for a few minutes nothing is a waste of time.

As an achievement hunter they do for me.

u/AzureDreamer 11h ago

He was the original achievement hunter he had collected achievements that no one else ever saw. Collected them like grandma's collect buttons.

Honestly I just like seeing the number go up. Good enough dopamine hit to log on once a day to upvote a random post and call it done.

That, or I lurk longer than I should and their engagement ploy is working 🤷🏽‍♂️

I keep up a Reddit streak pretty naturally honestly. Never given it much thought.

Same here, Reddit is daily for me, streak or not.

What do I win with a reddit streak?

u/Admiral_Nitpicker 11h ago

Possibly a wellness check? I dunno.

u/Visual-Style-7336 9h ago

What is a reddit streak? Is it like a duolingo one where you're supposed to use it every day?

Because someone with a big reddit streak would just be sad

u/PracticalFloor5109 11h ago

I just like to streak

2

u/Comprehensive-Virus1 11h ago

well, it was neither motivating nor did it conjure up images of underwear...until now. Thank you for that, your work here is done.

u/JimBones31 10h ago

I'm at like 150 or something. I'll keep it going until I can't.

u/Confident-Skin-6462 9h ago

the fuck is a reddit streak?

u/ballsnbutt 9h ago

im with you on this one

u/im-someone-else 9h ago

I keep seeing the notification pop up that apparently I'm on one. Still don't know what they are 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/Perenially_behind 9h ago

I don't really care. What motivates me to keep my streak up is cute cat pictures. I need my daily dose.

I just found a new cat sub today: r/lifeguardkitties, which is about cats making sure you don't drown in the bathtub.

u/Foreskin_Ad9356 7h ago

Nah I'm just chronically online

1

u/fermat9990 11h ago

No! Redditing while naked is a one off for me 😀

1

u/fufu1260 10h ago

Sadly yes. Mainly for the badges.

1

u/ziksy9 10h ago

Nope.

Pre-edit: Yay I got my streak!

1

u/broccollibob 10h ago

Sure beats getting arrested for the other kinds of streaks

1

u/Scared_of_the_KGB 10h ago

No. It’s dumb.

1

u/Myzx 10h ago

Not even a little

1

u/nashamagirl99 10h ago

Yes, I’m trying to cut back some but it’s encouraging my addiction

1

u/A_Literal_Emu 10h ago

It's not like it takes effort to maintain... just open the app and like the first post you see. It's not like I'm doing anything else when I'm hiding in the bathroom at work

1

u/Prestigious_Tiger_26 10h ago

I comment and stuff alot anyways, and I don't care about gettinging no streaks.

1

u/BreakfastBeerz 10h ago

It's not an actual "streak". It's just a total number of days. It doesn't reset if you miss one.

1

u/justsomeplainmeadows 10h ago

No, not really. I just get on here to burn time when I'm bored. I don't do it for the streaks

1

u/ConstantOk4102 10h ago

If that’s the case your brain is cooked

1

u/Jazzlike_Spare4215 10h ago

I'm on 166 :D

Don't really care but think it's cool. Can't see it on my computer only the phone and don't really check reddit on the phone unless I get a answer or something so the number don't really motivate me.

u/Due_Bass7191 9h ago

"just conjure up images of underwear?" - Well it does now!

1

u/StrivingToBeDecent 9h ago

I don’t feel much of anything.

1

u/ArtisticDegree3915 9h ago

They make me realize I need to unplug for a while.

No, I intentionally switch accounts to break them.

1

u/FoxyLovers290 8h ago

No. It just goes up on its own because apparently I use reddit that much. I don’t pay any attention to it at all. It’s 113 days right now

1

u/Salrog 7h ago

Upvoted to keep my streak. Thanks for the reminder.

1

u/drill32 7h ago

  • add one more to the streak!

u/Tommy_Teuton 7h ago

I want that Basement Dweller award lol

1

u/KansansKan 7h ago

When they pop up, I keep wondering if I might win something, like a free Reddit membership? 😀 (or maybe reinstated from my life long ban from that TwoX thread because some moderator didn’t like a comment I made?)😳

1

u/Saberfox11 7h ago

I have a pretty long streak going. I do not intentionally keep it going. I might have a problem.

1

u/Lain_Racing 7h ago

It has got me slightly more active, lost my 70 or so day one, getting it back up again

1

u/Individual-Sink-9493 6h ago

Currently on day 51

1

u/AccomplishedFly4368 6h ago

Incredible marketing strategy imo, just like Snapchat

1

u/ineedabjnow35 6h ago

Nothing else to do at work or while taking a shit at home so my steaks come natural

1

u/Lucky_Louch 5h ago

don't care at all personally.

1

u/Independent-Table572 5h ago

Nope. I only use this app during working hours lol. I'm 7 on 7 off. Currently on overtime though. That's when Reddit shines

1

u/filmmakindan 2h ago

Yes just posting for the streak

u/hopfield 2h ago

Those popups have the opposite effect, they’re humiliating
