nytimes, hackernews, reddit, youtube.<p>Starting to really dislike reddit though. For a while it was great as long as the subreddit wasn't one of the defaults, but even some of the relatively esoteric ones are starting to get very noisy and have really low quality content/discussion. The whole upvote system just encourages voicing arguments that appeal to the lowest common denominator, and then rephrasing the exact same opinion in the follow up comments. I guess hackernews isn't so different, aside from needing to earn upvote/downvote privileges.<p>But the biggest complaint about reddit is the amount of blatant marketing, especially in subs where people are reviewing products. I've seen threads where every post with 30-50+ votes voicing a complaint got voted down to <-20 within a few hours. I saw this happen in /r/audiophile regarding Schiit and I've had a bad taste about reddit since.
YNAB: To sync my budget<p>Bank of America: To see if I got charged yet another fee<p>Reddit: mostly r/programming r/videos r/cscareerquestions<p>MSDN: To read .NET documentations<p>Youtube: To listen to background music while coding.
For entertainment:<p>Comic Rocket (<a href="https://comic-rocket.com/" rel="nofollow">https://comic-rocket.com/</a>), which means I <i>don't</i> need to manually check any of the comics and stories I'm reading; if there's an update, Comic Rocket will show it.<p>YouTube's "subscriptions" page (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions</a>) directly, to bypass the worthless front page.<p>For information:<p>LWN (<a href="https://lwn.net/" rel="nofollow">https://lwn.net/</a>): best news on Linux and Open Source in the industry, and the next best thing to reading all of LKML.<p>Twitter.

I skim the NYTimes.com frontpage headlines twice daily to get a sense of what's going on. It my way of maintaining a "news diet" without completely losing touch with the world.
