>When you finally pick something up, the amount of material about any given topic, unconstrained by the volume of paper, seems impossible to get through in a single lifetime.
So when I usually want to learn something, I first have something in mind I want to build. I pick a tutorial and give it 5 minutes and decide if it's useful enough to continue. Once I complete a tutorial, I start the building process. Once I'm building, the internet becomes a reference manual, which it is much better at.
I'm not overly interested in social media. I gave most of it up after the Snowden revelations around 2013-2014. As far as news, I take breaks when not much is going on and I notice it's overly manipulative. I generally stay away from opinion pieces and when the news article starts going into opinion after the first few paragraphs, I stop reading. Hope this helps.
