Ask HN: How do you explore the web?

It is nearly impossible now to perform any meaningful exploration for the internet on my own these days.

Search engines are full of garbage. All these articles to promote products and optimize SEOs.

My "virtual portal" to the internet is HackerNews and Reddit, Spotify (some podcasts), and Twitter to a lesser extent (something always feel wrong about that platform). I used to have Newspapers as part of that portal, but not anymore (always depressing, always marketing).

I am curious about how you are exploring the internet? What is you typical daily journey look like? Where do you start?
