text: Friends like to mess with you sometimes, often ending up in someone getting hurt or in this case, feeling dumb. Some people get enjoyment out of getting someone to fail. These people are friends, sometimes. When you ask more than one person, the chances of you using the advice of the usual prankster is lower therefore, better chances of you getting great advice. You don't wan't to be the person who is known for doing something dumb because of advice you took from a prankster, believe me. Tiktok is a good example of people trying to get you to do something incorrect. Every once in a while, there is a video which gives you advice on what to do on tests or whatever advice you're looking for. One of the videos gives you advice on what to do when stuck on a question, my friend followed that, and failed the test. he could've simply avoided this prank by asking other people for advice on the topic.
