Poll: Stuck on the Internet? What and Why?

[HenrySugar]

I know this seems like a silly question, and I know I have left some things out from the poll, but I am curious (as is my psychology class) as to how many uses will both A) take part in a poll regarding the internet and B) claim with honesty which option they picked.

I'm asking for opinions on what you do, even if I left it out (which would be other) and of course WHY you would do it. It's not hard. It's not simple either. Give some thought and let us begin shifting through the info!

If you would like to know how the data is coming, I am compiling it into a Quantitative Analysis for my Psychology Class, so don't hesitate to private message and/or add me to let me know you're interested in the details!

I look forward to your responses and poll replies!

I don't have a set routine on the internet. I float around like a dandelion seed, caught in a breeze.

Yeah, I'm also the same way.

With the internet so vast in scope, it seems a little wasteful to reduce its usefulness to simple routine.

A mixture of the Escapist and Youtube really, like someone said, no set order. just where my boredom takes me.

In this case, in the study, you two would fall under "Other"

I use youtube but not for random stuff, I usually check out retsupurae and Chipcheezum aswell as Nintendocaprisun. I used to like That Guy WithThe Glasses but grew out of him. Then of course that came full circle with this.

I don't know what I Hell I've been doing, but I can tell you I've been doing about 3 hours of it, now. And it's like 60 degrees outside today. I really need to break this ridiculous cycle right now.

Most recently I've been spending a lot of time on the Skyrim Nexus, looking for new mods. Though the way I do things there is always a Facebook tab and an Escapist tab open for me to flip to every 10-20 minutes. I also spend a lot of time reading tech news on sites like Cnet.

I mostly use the internet as a research tool via the databases my university has helpfully linked all into one for us to access online. So, I spend the vast majority of my time online knee-deep in scholarly and peer-reviewed journals.

Otherwise: Escapist, Cracked.com, Memebase - in that order.

The Escapist, All the (Ongoing) manga on my backlog, all the (Ongoing) anime on my backlog and 9gag are the more notorious ones. But the biggest offender, robbing me of hours of precious free time once I get there, is this Goddamn timesink. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheEscapist]

 

[staika]

Basically the only thing I do is waste time on the escapist. I also use youtube for music but the majority of my time is spent on here.

9GAG! [http://9gag.com/hot]

It is like an uber-condensed, much more content for space efficient version of every meme site ever that uses facebook for commenting and is very very addictive. Enjoy

 

[Redingold]

My most visited site is the Escapist, my second most is youtube, and the next 6 are pony sites.

 

[ElPatron]

The poll is seriously incomplete without TV Tropes.

 

[Denamic]

I have a set of sites I browse every day, but most of my time is spent doing completely random shit.

I go to some NC things, Escapist, video game blogs and occasional memes. I've grown tired of them in the past, but when they're done in a way that's pretty good I can't help but take a look.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Mostly the Escapist, with some Youtube and Roosterteeth on the side.

[Pebblig]

I'm on for the Escapist, but anyone else ever visit Memebase? Just it seems the quality of content has deteriorated in the past few months. Then again, I only really look at rage comics, just the majority seem to be re-posts at the moment.
