in the wise words of big money salvia:

"I remember when the internet wasn't run by algorithms designed to make us fight each other in an attempt to keep engagement up. I remember seeing communities online instead of the entire internet experience being comprised of 4 websites that all steal content and ideas from each other like an ouroboros of boring attention seeking horse poo poo"

so how do YOU enjoy the internet? how do you escape the endless dopamine loops or clickbait and actually enjoy cool stuff or share your own?

I try to strive for only reading long-form content. If something is short-form, like a forum thread, I liked to wait until there are a few pages of posts before looking at it. This helps to keep me from feeling soupy/fuzzy/whatever from constantly trying to figure out what the thing I'm reading is about. Also, instead of trying to divide entire websites into "good" or "bad", I try to focus on if the thing I want to go do is "good" or "bad" and then if it is bad I won't do it.

But mostly I ignore my own advice and suffer.

I usually am naked when I scroll my sites. Is that not normal? I’m fully clothed right now if that makes it any better.

I think I enjoyed the internet right up until about 2008 or 9. However, I can't really remember why or how. Sorry I can't help OP

There are lots of good-looking people of all genders on the internet, this is one of the many aspects that makes it enjoyable

Spend zero time on instant gratification social media platforms like twitter, instagram, or tiktok and seek out small community subreddits that aren't dominated by tired memes or vapid internet drama.

Also spend time on these dead / gay forums.

I find myself alternating between about 5 or so websites regularly and not much outside of that - I feel like I used to use a variety of websites years back but something changed? Algorithms?

I used to surf the internet instead of writing research papers in college and now I surf the internet to avoid doing actual work, so I guess college really did prepare me for real life.
