Because I not only like to be entertained by the foolishness of internet figures, but to get word of mouth information, as opposed to compromised search results and dumbass takes from normies on social media. The Farms is useful for finding out what's really going on with hot button issues, but also for opinions on various things like software, media, etc. that are more thought out than what you typically see on other sites. The biggest problem that the Farms has in that regard is that it's so much smaller than other sites that you often have to go outside of it to find info on things that it may be lacking on. Reddit is something of a midpoint between the Farms and social media/other mainstream sites in that you can get word of mouth information, but the site is heavily censored, an echo chamber, and has many midwits. The negative impact of the midwits on the site can't be overstated; there are so many posters that can type in clear, proper English, but have zero critical thinking skills, bloating threads with dumbass talking points and leaving one to sift through the trash to find a post by someone with a modicum of intelligence.
Really though, the most important reason I visit the Farms is to have a central hub of sorts to visit when I open my web browser, where I can just chat with non-retarded people on various things like I did back in the 2000s and early 2010s, before the web went to shit. There are a handful of other sites out there that can serve the same purpose, but they tend to me much smaller than the Farms and much less active.
