Aside from (formerly) Reddit and (now) kbin, what are some of your favorite go-to websites, whether for information, wasting time, etc?

    First thing I did when leaving reddit was move to Feedly.com and start adding good sites.

    And because I also have kbin on there it’s my new front page

    Just plain old YouTube, I do have to delete all my watch history now and then so it doesn’t start recommending low quality videos.
    Oh and ublock and sponsorblock are a must these days.

        Also @lixus98 (not sure how we mention each other here) I get around the YouTube algorithm feeding me junk by never using the app, I just view in browser (Kiwi on mobile) with uBlock & SponsorBlock plugins & another for background playback. For subscriptions & any vids I want to watch later I add links to a note taking app which syncs to all my devices.

        A little more effort than using the app but for me worth it not to be continually bombarded with recommendations for something I accidentally clicked months ago!

        Other sites: Fark & Something Awful forums

          I use the revanced youtube app on mobile, that helps with the ads. However if that doesn’t work for some reason, i just use the Firefox for Android with ublock.
