ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Egosurfing

Okay kiddo, have you ever typed your name into Google or another search engine to see what comes up? That's called ego-surfing!

It's like looking in a mirror, but instead of seeing yourself, you're seeing what other people see when they search for your name online.

Some people like to do it to see if they're famous or if their friends are saying nice things about them online. But it's important to remember that not everything you read about yourself is true or important.

Just like looking in a mirror, it can be fun to see what you look like, but it's not everything. So, it's okay to do it once in a while, but don't let it take over your whole day.
