Am I the only one who seems to spend 95% of my time on the same five websites? In an effort to expand my Internet horizons, I'd love to know what your "five-website Internet" looks like. Mine is:<p>1. New York Times
2. Ars Technica
3. Hacker News
4. IGN Movies
5. Redfin (for real estate fantasizing...)<p>I'm leaving out work-related websites, but with them, Gmail, Github, and Slack would be number 1, 2, and 3.
1999: there are millions of websites all hyperlinked together<p>2019: there are four websites, each filled with screenshots of the other three.<p><a href="https://twitter.com/badnetworker/status/1133363823728091136?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/badnetworker/status/1133363823728091136?...</a> (not quite a screenshot but in the same spirit)
Reddit, Hackernews, Youtube, Craigslist, ...<p>Honestly, reddit sucks but there isn't really another option that is some-how hotter garbage than reddit. I really don't want to chase content around the internet, so I tend more towards the aggregators.<p>I also like garage sales.
Letterboxd, Twitter, HN (my life would be much better off without Twitter and my work productivity would be somewhat better off w/o HN).<p>Greatest internet quality of life increase would be if I did away with all 3 of those and just reached for a book or my e-reader when I needed to be entertained.
Does Google count? If it doesn't because of external links, how would Reddit or HN count? Do people frequently hang around Ask HN or the self contained subreddits?
1. Skimfeed.com<p>2. Metafilter.com<p>3. Reddit.com (a selected list of subreddits only)<p>4. local news site<p>5. Newsblur.com (because RSS is the way)
