Not for quite a lot of people it isn’t, no.

I’m guessing you’re over 35 (as I am).

I know plenty of people in their 20s whose entire online life is centered on Reddit.

They make hundreds of comments a day. It’s where all of their social interaction is. it’s where they coordinate activities with people. It’s where they chat with people. it’s how they communicate with everyone.Losing that handle would be disastrous. You can’t just change it.
