It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Someone asking doew not obligate you to respond. There is no theivery. You can walk away without saying anything. They cannot take your time from you.

You're choosing to waste it by responding with something unhelpful, though, and wasting their time for the sake of your unrequested public masturbation.
