Does anybody else find themselves following convoluted trails of hyperlinks instead of using a search bar? (beehaw.org)

Sometimes I can't be bothered to take my hand off the mouse to type. I've sometimes caught myself clicking through half a dozen or more links to get to a page I could have typed in the address bar in a quarter of the time. Is this a weird habit?

My habit for the last few years has just been adding "site:reddit.com" to my Google searches. It's more often than not given me real human answers to the questions I had, way more often than a standard search. I don't know how I'm going to adjust if Reddit just fully falls apart.
