If you were building an interface to extract the most value from Reddit-like sites but reduce the chance of addiction what would it look like?

Less pictures, less color, less NSFW, time delays on content, exclude any subreddit that grows beyond a certain size, actively avoid things that are engaging lots of people etc.

There's the ethical qualm that your profiting from other people's addiction to surface your minor addiction, similar to someone who dabbles in hard drugs but is supporting the ecosystem for people using it as an escape from their life and getting trapped in it.
