Poll: Stuck on the Internet? What and Why?

[Right Hook]

I'm on YouTube the most but I spend a fairly equal amount between Escapist, Twitter and Tumblr. When I'm really bored I'll use StumbleUpon, which basically guarantees I've been everywhere at least once.

 

[Spygon]

I always have my facebook open but that is because it is how i talk to my girlfriend most of the time

But then float around the web mostly on cracked.com,here,rooster teeth and erepublik

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

I don't really have a set routine. I generally chat with friends, play games, or am looking up random things.
Youtube is often open in the background for music and I tend to flip onto The Escapist fairly often to kill time.

 

[EHKOS]

I'm going to be a man and admit there is porn on one of my most visited chrome window.
However I spend the rest of the time on Youtube and here. SSoHPKC just uploads like a boss.

 

[MammothBlade]

I'm most likely to be lurking on Reddit, getting high off Tvtropes (that shit is low-grade crack), or browsing /d/ on 4chan. Oh and the Escapist of course.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

I'd say about 60% YouTube, 35% Escapist, and about 5% Facebook. Oh.. And mix Netflix around there somewhere.

I do this thing where I type in the Facebook URL, and I scroll down for about two or three minutes, realizing that I either barely know who this person is or I figured that I hated them throughout High School.

But I'm not one of those cool kats that hates Facebook. It's a great tool for keeping in touch with friends, and it's pretty fun to not give a shit about anything and straight up tell people they're stupid.

Escapist activity > all my other online activity.

I'm infrequently on Facebook and Formspring. I'm fairly involved in a Nationstates RP region and I go on youtube from time to time but the Escapist is where at least 70% of my time is spent.

Hard to say...
I check YouTube and armor games a lot. But because i watch angry joe and TGWTG a lot and their videos tend to be 30 min affairs i think i spend most of my time watching them

How can any poll about internet usage not include porn, the single most popular thing on the net? BESIDES porn I'll have to go with Youtube. Lately I've been watching a lot of videos on atheism (Richard Dawkins, etc) and The Young Turks.

Dude, you guys are REALLY helping out with my research project! Keep it up! Right now, as Quantitative Analysis project is concerned, I just finished pushing new updated number in and we have a strong positive yet non-direct correlation regarding our variables of -- OOp, I almost gave away the secret of the real experiment!

Just a reminder - This goes for you all:

 

[nameless023]

Well, my morning routine includes checking mcblue (my Minecraft server's forum), the Escapist, the Minecraftforum.net and youtube. Then the rest of the day is randomness online.

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

I do a little bit of everything on the list except for Facebook, I rarely go on Facebook.

 

[Tiger Sora]

70% escapists, 10% news, 5% reading web comics, 15% random surfing,youtube and Wiki'ing. Thats about the average for my day of interneting usage.
Excluding the unmentionables, and if I'm watching some TV/Anime.

If your going to sell this info. I demand a 60% take of profits made off me. : D

 

[MarlonBlazed]

Psychology, OK here's something.

Lately I spend time going out of my way to find any shred of hate posted on the internet about things I dislike myself, in fact before I happened upon this thread I was doing just this for hours on The Artist.

This is a new development for me, it started after I began watching ZP and RLM a year ago.

I don't know why I do it other than it makes me feel good about the way I feel about things but at the same time it makes me more cynical so in the long run I end up hating myself and everyone around me.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Reading hours upon hours of fan ficiton and other things. The entire weekend has been spent reading this one series.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Mostly?
Other: World of Warcraft and pornography.

After that, probably Youtube and copyright infringement of television programmes so I don't have to wait months for them to show up on UK cable and ponies.

 

[Random Fella]

Escapist, if we're not including online video games
Because of group chat, keeps me occupied.

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Mainly its a mixture of the escapist, youtube and facebook. I occasionally go on the bsn for me3 updates and the party temple thread.

Webcomics, I have a rather substantial list of stuff I check. Been going on a Girl Genius archive binge today since nothing I read updates on saturdays. Also it went from reasonably warm to cold as hell [footnote]divine comedy hell to be specific, normal hell isn't depicted as all that cold[/footnote] almost overnight and I didn't want to go out.

Why? Because I love fantasy and other kinds of fiction, I exhausted my local library some time ago, anime comes out too slow, comics and manga are good but often too expensive for someone who needs to watch their income. Also the story can be lighter, take more chances, and is ultimately more driven by the fans than stuff made by large studios.

Spoiler: I am bored and shall list my webcomics

Other than webcomcs it is usually an even split between the Escapist, Facebook, Youtube, and Tvtropes.
