I am not sure my “rewards” are decreasing in a long term. First, I learn where to find the more interesting stuff (my filters improve). Second, more interesting stuff is created (the internet expands). For example recently my “rewards” were pretty low and I felt like I will stop procrastinating online… and then I found LW.
I agree with the “read-only” mode, because being a part of community gives its own “rewards”. This is how I reduced my addiction to the website I spent a lot of time previously—I have noticed that I spend more time writing than reading (and that my estimates of the writing time are even worse than my estimates of reading time), so I decided to stop writing. After a few weaks, reading felt much less interesting.
