Hi, I needed to leave multiple subreddits but it was a hassle doing so manually one by one. So, I built 'Beleave' to help automate the task. It uses Reddit's API to mass leave subreddits. It's completely free. I didn't even put ads in it.

Not everyone ~~can~~ wants to, and so not everyone will.

I'm not hating on a tool that might help some people drop the subreddits they no longer care for. People will have different paths for how they improve their digital lives

Yes actually everyone can delete their account. They may not want to but they can. Great that this guy made a tool to leave multiple subs but still it's not impossible to stop supporting shit companies. For every sub out there there is a site serving the same interest. This isn't a matter of life or death, it it's like saying you can't leave Netflix because it has shows you like.

I fixed it, but the point still stands.

For some people, dropping subreddits slowly is how they get out of the daily habit and eventually move somewhere better.
