What are the 5?

I want to know if I am one of the unwashed masses.

Edit: Now what I want to know is - what is the best way to use the internet? (also posting as a stand alone question.)

To be fair, a LOT of the screenshots on reddit from other sites (like twitter) are completely fake. They were never screenshotted from other sites, they are just completely fabricated text from AI karmabots.

That's the point, you use one but get screen shots or shares of the "top" content in all others lol

I would add YouTube

Yeah, you use reddit to aggregate the best/worst posts from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikToc.

To name a few more.

If your definition is exclusively anglo-speaking social media then yes but the internet is way bigger than that.

Baidu, for example, is China's answer to Google and has almost 200 million daily users.

The best way to use the internet is to use it to get information from quality sources.

Online articles with no sources from dime a dozen websites are not quality sources.

Oh and just a quick pro tip. If you are looking for information about when a show or movie comes out, any article that has the words "release date" in the title do not have the release date in the article. At best they will be making a poorly educated guess.
