I’ve always been a “lurker” on all platforms and communities because when I do have a question or would like to contribute my first thought has become:

Actually, let me google it first

In which case I’ll usually have some answer. Usually it isn’t a complete answer but enough for me to not want to share my question anymore.

    The real irony is that, for a number of questions, the “answer” was either in StackOverflow or one of its similar sites, or in Reddit

      Or more infuriating is when I AM searching Google and the results bring me to some asshat saying “Just google it bruh.”

        Why would you even take the time out of your day to go on a Q&A forum and respond like this to someone asking a question? Do these people not have hobbies? That kind of response is more insulting than just not getting a response.

          Yeah, if you’re going to respond you should make the response useful. You can politely tell them to make use of Google and answer the question.
