It’s wild to think that we’re nearing the end of 2023. Every year has its ups and downs, and while this past year brought some great things, there are other things we should probably ditch in 2024. “What should die in 2024?” was asked on Reddit, and the thread was filled with many responses. Here is what people are hoping gets left behind in the new year.
