Bad habits you have when it comes to internet usage

I suppose I should elaborate. By bad habits, I mean ones that relate to the way you comment, the way and where you spend your time, etc. For an example, I'll post one of mine.

When it comes to this site, I have a really bad habit of liking and favoriting images, whether they deserve both or not. I started doing it a long time ago and I can't seem to stop, and for whatever reason I only do it here.

I constantly refresh pages sometimes instead of being patient and doing other important things. I can also let myself get too emotional invested wich can get silly.

Edit: i been improving on both by focusing more on my studies but you know…

Once i post an image i really like, i will check it 5 – 6 times (images i don't like that much 2 – 3 times) to be sure it has proper tags, source and title and check if it has upvotes and/or comments.

Truth be told, quite a few sites/games/shows that forces features that nobody wants will always have me pinned down.

YouTube has been spewing out horrible features and treating creators unfair and has been favoring clickbait no effort vids and that elsagate thing going on for a long time but I couldn't leave it if I tried.

Some content creators I know have done pretty scummy things yet I still watch them religiously. (And I'm not referring to anyone like keem, that faze guy, or tmartn and prosyndicate. You couldn't play me to watch them.)

Twitch bans streamers for doing nothing wrong while boob streamers show off 99% of their body, and if something does slip it's MAYBE a 24hr ban, but I'd still stick around twitch even if things were way worse.

This one softcore porn site I visit added this anti adblock ghost message thingy in an attempt to annoy you to giving into viewing their malicious ads. (granted there's away around it, thank god) I couldn't leave it.

TF2 removed the ability to join any server you liked, still played the shit outta it.

Other games I liked kept added dlc, lootboxes, and other means of gambling while glitches were still unfixed but I'd still played 'em.

I know often they have to make these changes and it sometimes doesn't bother me at all or not that much, but they feel the need to give out some 1st Grade ABC explanation like that EA Battlefront 2 reddit comment.
Something like:
We understand your concerns and he hear your voices, but we implemented these features to add a sense of accomplishment that will benefit all users and their experience on this site it's as simple as that.

So that's my worse internet habbit, being a uninfluential normie zombie that can't quit certain sites.

I keep reloading my email to see if anyone replied to any of my comments or commented on any of my videos. I get a little sad when neither happens.

I'm extremely relieved to know I'm not the only one that worries over his comments and posts like this.

I don't know if it is a bad habit, but sometimes i put a like on an image just to change the number of likes it has.
As an example: 66 likes? I'll make it 67. 54 likes? I'll make it 55.
Some numbers just bother me.
