But.... what about my 83k karma and 13 year badge!

Gamification is a powerful addictive force.

When Reddit locked down their API and Boost stopped working, I forced myself to do casual browsing on chrome on my phone. It was clunky enough that I didn't bother replying to comments, and navigation is a bit of a pain on mobile, and that was enough to ruin the game.
