There’s probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole.

You went to this one site, and it mentioned some other site, and they kept your interest and kept linking on to others and you’ve surfaced just long enough to share here.

    Wikipedia and TVTropes, I guess. But that’s staying on one site, not going from site to site.

    Frankly, I never partook in stuff like webrings or StumbleUpon even back when they were a thing.

    Literally any microblog that has a webring. You just need to hunt for them from various sources like YouTube and forums.

    memory alpha, from the star trek fandom

    I just want to know about the full name of a character, 30 minutes later I’m reading about how they did something I don’t know what is, with some group I don’t know of, in a movie I haven’t seen.

    Palestine news on tiktok. I was under the impression tiktok was a garbage app like Facebook. It’s not.

      See? Even here my pro Palestinian posts still get downvoted by the bots. They can’t keep up with tiktok, so you see actual, unfiltered opinions.
