The "just google it" mantra has probably held back quite a lot of interesting conversations and debate
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
My favorite is when I would use a google search for something, and several of the top results would be posts detailing the exact question I have, with the only responses being "just google it" and the post locked/closed to further responses.
Interesting, I've never seen that. The opposite happens quite often, though; the question is the same as mine and there's 5 other people in the comments also not finding an answer.
Maybe I'm just Googling for too many obscure missing .dll files and such.
same for me, google filter sucks sometimes.. or those sites who had the answers is down š«
i always search before askin' in a forum.. maybe i just didn't know how to search it? let it be because my native language doesn't have the answers on google?
so how am i supposed to know what i should search for as a non native english speaker on english? and a few more reasons ofc š (applies if u still learn english)
so it is quite disappointing if i get a answer and realize.. oh it is just a.. "google has the answer" answer.. well how about f u self? it's even better if u try to explain that u already did and how u did it.. and get another reply like, "uninstall your browser, the web isn't for you" or some type of shi*.. yes that's something that happened š¤
is it that hard to take those few seconds you had to comment for and help me to answer the question if you seem to know "everything"???
