A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, "this" comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

Yes, thank you. Excessive prudishness and self censoring is always an indicator to me that a community is going a weird direction.

    In the last year I started noticing on Reddit people typing the 'letter'-word and half the time I wouldn't know what word they are referring to.

    On a couple occasions I would reply asking what word they meant and they would reply that I should know, with my comment downvoted.

    That reminds me of another thing I was sick of seeing, people asking a question and getting told to google it or that lmgtfy link. You would later see people in the comments mentioning that Google took them there when Googling for it.

    But why clutter up a comment section asking questions you could answer with thirty seconds on a search engine? I understand the annoyance. You shouldn't rely on other people to educate you on things that literally anyone with internet can find out with very little effort.

    If it's relevant to the discussion, that's different, but too often it just sidetracks things.

    Google is the band aid word for search engine. I'm sorry but if you don't understand how to use a search engine maybe you... Idk shouldn't be using the internet.

    You obviously know how to scroll down the page on a forum like Reddit and here, but when seeing search results you're somehow suddenly helpless?

    Come on.
