I used to dismiss easy questions, but not anymore

I always got annoyed by posts asking things you could find with a simple online lookup. Then I saw a thread where a beginner's question led to a deep talk that helped everyone. People shared tips that weren't in any guide I read. Now I see the value in letting those questions fly.

Yeah that "deep talk that helped everyone" bit. Let me guess, someone asked how to boil water and you all discovered the meaning of life. Sometimes a simple question is just a simple question, and the answer is on page one of Google. Not every "how do I change a tire" post unlocks secret community wisdom.

That part about "secret community wisdom" hits right. Honestly most of those threads just go in circles until someone posts a link to the actual answer.
