im not saying its not annoying that people just dont seem to search before asking a lot of the times. but seeing them is part of that free labor, and u can just ignore. i provide help in forums and just ignore when someone asks an exact question already answered and easy to search (cases where its not exact i might say something) (also ig search engines suck now so idk how to think about that but we arent talking right now anyways)

seeing them is part of that free labor Yeah, people adding to your workload as an unpaid worker is annoying… Some further context: I did answer a handful stackoverflow questions some years ago. No, I never complained to anybody about people asking dumb questions or whatever. But actually coming up with answers was real work and not easy, even though I was knowledgeable in the topics I answered questions in. In fact, it was too much work for me, and I stopped doing it. So I am generally sympathetic to anybody who takes the time to do it.
