How many websites do you visit regularly that are not Corporate or Businesses?
I think the only one I go to is SigForum. Everything else is either a news site or a business I'm buying something from or researching their products. Oh, and YouTube. I used to go to several forums and blogs but they either turned to crap or went to Facebook and I don't do Facebook. Am I just boring or is there anything else worth going to on the World Wide Web?

About 10. Mostly tractor/motorcycle/home machinist related and a couple of private chat boards to keep in touch with far-flung friends.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Sig Forum is #1. The tube, Pandora, LinkedIn, several firearms sites and X. I've a few friends on Facebook.

Here and a couple of news sites.

I get sent some stuff from X and Instagram from friends to look at, but I would not bother if they didn't send things.

There's a guitar forum which has become a ghost town due to Facebook. There are now soecific interest pages over on FB but it is quite deficient compared to a forum.

There's a motorcycle forum I used to frequent but they have been gobbled up by a corporation and destroyed with very intrusive ads. It is nearly impossible to navigate due to pop-ups and flashing ads everywhere.

Both had great members who equalled Sigforum, with high quality discussions.

Just a few, mainly a handful of forums like this one that haven't sold out to a corporation.

And some milsurp reference sites that are privately owned and run.

Wikipedia kinda/sorta qualifies, I guess. They're a nonprofit organization. So while incorporated, they're not a for-profit corporation/business.

0 for 2... That's corporate, and a business. It's part of Amazon, and they sell stuff.
