I dropped and deleted the account. Only time I go to Reddit now is if I am searching for something and a Reddit link is part of the search and happen to have the answer I need.

Yet, you deleted your account, which may have contained vital information. I left mine because I felt that it was wrong to use Reddit for search results unless I left my contributions. It makes sense for Reddit to die frozen, not purged, but a lot of people who asked really niche questions have purged unfortunately.

Aside from clicking on search results, I no longer use Reddit.

A fair point. I deleted my account to reduce the statistics of active users of Reddit. On the one hand, I agree that the information that exists there is still relevant and can be helpful for some people, on the other, I don't want my account to count for some stat that Spez will use to report to investors on the continued viability of Reddit.
