My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)
I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.
What about you?
How do you think news sites earn money? They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.
I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).
