  True, but it's also often true that people mistakenly assume that a question has not been googled already. The thing is, as SEO has become more popular (thanks a lot, capitalism) google has gotten much worse. Often times this can be overcome by adding "reddit" and *year* to the end of your query, but a lot of times that just leads to a thread where people are responding with "google it." So the way to overcome this is to either end capitalism (or at least stop it from taking over the internet with legislation that works for the people) and/or you people better fucking google it before telling other people to fucking google it.
context: I think there’s two columns at play here.
  The “I want an answer with no discussion”
  And “I want an answer but am mainly wanting discussion.
  Sometimes I ask about a Rimworld feature I could easily google, but I ask it more for a conversation around the topic over just a text answer. >
  
  This. Sometimes people want interaction. >

  I'm usually the one googling for people who ask the question, like the amount of r/askreddit question that are just googlable facts is absolutely wild. Like dude, you have the entire catalog of current human knowledge at your fingertips yet you're not asking it? Do you actually want knowledge or do you just seek conversation? >
  
  This happens all the time on here and other platforms. >
  
  What’s Google? >
  
  I’m actually on the complete opposite side of the spectrum. One of my biggest pet peeves is someone saying “Google it” to someone else. Like others here have said, asking a question can generate conversation, especially if someone is knowledgeable in a certain topic and can better convey information or nuances that Google can’t. However I feel like your opinion isn’t really unpopular tbh. People say “Google it” all the time. >
  
  Some people prefer to discuss things with other humans. The interaction is as much a part of it as the knowledge. Yeah sometimes it’s annoying but people who do the whole “a quick Google would have told you…” are more annoying. You look like a jerk. >
  
  What makes you think google will give you the right answer? >
  
  Tell that to people over at Quora. lol. >
  
  dear google is the earth flat?
  
  Despite that, multiple people asked what “rizz” was under my post. It literally would have taken them less time to just type those 4 letters
  
  here's the thing about successful writing --- you should include all of the information so your reader doesn't HAVE to go looking things up or asking googz. that's what it means to be a good writer. >
  
  It’s a TikTok post not a novel
