It's relatively easy to quit things like Reddit. There's no attachments to anything, and the content is mostly links to other sites.

When you have followers and follow specific accounts for the content, users are less inclined to leave unless those they follow and their own followers also leave.

The only one that is difficult to replace is Facebook. It's still the best way to keep up with family and friends from all over. I also like Facebook Marketplace and haven't found a substitute that is as good.
