It's just shitty that so much useful information is on reddit.

The first result is always "Why are asking us when you can just google it?"

I am trying to stop answering questions that I think are quickly searchable with "you have the entire world's knowledge in your pocket". It's been a long time since trustworthy information has been easy to find on the internet.

It’s like repeatedly hitting your genitalia with a wooden mallet and acting smug about it, if someone is asking for assistance.

It's ok. The AI companies will scrape it and spit it out for you.

It’s ok. The AI companies will scrape it and might spit it out for you.

The people that created that info can recreate it elsewhere

Maybe, but that's a lot of work.
