I check out stuff. A lot. I have a few sites I regularly frequent, such as Speedhunters, Hooniverse, The Truth About Cars, Vice's Fightland, Bloody Elbow, and a few others. I've also gotten into watching quite a few Youtube channels as well.

If you ever looked at the post/comment history on any of my profiles on any of the websites I've been on over the years, you'll find my comments far outweigh my posts. I enjoy conversing with people significantly more than I like to share. However, when I do decide to share something, it has to fit in one of three criteria. It either has to be A) immediately topical so I know it's something people want to see, B) something that is in depth enough to have substance behind it, but also be decent in quality and easily accessible so that people who don't have an immediate interest in what I want to share will appreciate it, or C) something that's esoteric but so awesome I think that anyone who loves something that esoteric will appreciate it. Every now and again though, I'll post something stupid just because I think it's fun.

As for Hubski in particular, I'm going to focus mostly on posting things about cars and martial arts (pretty much MMA and Boxing) partly because I feel like there's a dearth of that content on here, but mostly because I think they're absolutely wonderful subjects that I'm passionate about and I want to share. There are a lot of other things that I enjoy that you'll never see me post on here though, mostly because they're so esoteric I don't think anyone would appreciate them.

So yeah, in short, I find content because I have an internet life outside of sites like Hubski and Reddit.
