    that could have been solved with a google search

    This is very quickly becoming untrue. Actually, I’d argue that it’s been somewhat not the case for some situations, that I’ve personally encountered, for over a decade. There’s times when I search forums for days, finally find someone who’s experiencing the exact same issue as me. The post is marked solved! Fuck yeah!
    The post:

    OP: Hey guys, I’m trying to fix xyz and I’m not able to find anything on it. Could I get some help?

    Two months after initial post:

    Only reply is OP: Nevermind guys, I figured it out.

    Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

      Are you honestly telling me there aren’t people asking basic questions that could be solved with a google search? Don’t get me wrong the kind of question you are talking about does exist, but that’s now what I am discussing here.

        Oh, no totally, there’s people asking questions that Google used to be able to answer. Google is now a burning tire fire, and getting a useable answer from it can now be a full time job…is what I’m saying.
