    Quora isn't horrible, but sadly it seems it's kind of intrusive from a privacy perspective. Still it has interesting insights on psychology and personal experiences, with people who enjoy writing. It's like an organized Q and A blog.

        > to scroll and learn things

        Maybe you can approach this a bit differently, it sounds like you are looking for another place to waste your time without learning anything.

        Learning doesn't happen by scrolling.

          Counterpoint: you don't know what you don't know.

          When scrolling Hackernews, intriguing topics abound that I never thought about before, much less even asked myself the question about. And I read the comments and become interested in a new area.

          Counter-counterpoint: attention moves to something else before much learning was performed...

            I would use the term "reading" than "scrolling" though. Scrolling implies that you don't really care much about anything and just mindlessly consume content.

          When you find interesting blog posts on HN, skim the other articles on the blog and if they seem interesting, subscribe to their RSS feeds.

          For the Mac/iOS I use NetNewsWire. It syncs over iCloud and it’s free and open source.

          I deleted my Reddit account last year after 8 years.

            Is there a windows or android NetNewsWire-equivalent?

            > aren't a waste of time

            > spaces on the internet to scroll

            These 2 are mutually exclusive ;)

              “Scroll and learn” sounds like oxymoron.

                Scrolling is OK if there is an end. Like a blog post!

                    Read newspapers. Read about Philisophy and society. Look up data on national/local trends (national/local government usually have databasen). Educate yourself.

                    Lord knows the world need more of that in the coming years.
