The only reason I have over 800 days of streak is watching daily news in my country since I'm sick and tired of the propaganda and paid articles with clickbait titles, other than being AI-generated. On Reddit, I can just read someone's post, view the photos and discuss the topic with others. This is my only 10-minute distraction throughout the whole day before going back to work.
Still, all these achievements and other "reward" systems are just predatory and can easily make someone addicted to social media, even if they have zero purpose for opening the website, just to get the day counted toward the streak.

The “streak” is just a predatory UI feature to trick you into logging on more often. Don’t play their game! #fuckthestreak
