Description
A lot of sites on the internet have inappropriate content, usually gross, that some people may enjoy. Most other ones are poorly designed, and don't function well, and the ones that do function well, such as Twitter, are very time-consuming. People spend hours scrolling through these things when they could be doing something productive.
Round 1
The majority of sites on the internet, are, in fact, bad, or gross. Let’s explore the categories of sites, and why most are bad.
1. Sites that try and sell you stuff. Let’s say you are researching a topic, like, mindfulness, and you find an article that says “How to Be Mindful.” Turns out it’s an ad for a program that helps you to be mindful. Not a ton of the sites on the internet are purely for information.
2. Inappropriate websites. Ah yes, the websites that have explicit content. It is just gross how many of these there are, and how avoiding them is an impossible task. You just want to have a nice day, researching your topic, scrolling on Facebook, going on Amazon, and these sites pop up. Why? Because the internet is filled with gross people!
3. Actual sites. The smallest category. Government websites, educational websites, websites with a use.

What count as a site? Less than 20% of the sites contain more than 80% information, such as youtube, Google, Wikipedia, etc. in reality most sites are inaccessible in the dark web, with the rest of them mostly being small sites with perhaps a couple pages.
