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.

The issue I have is not that " You don't need to reply." I don't if I don't care about you and your ignorance. Experience will teach you soon enough. But I have more than once provided detailed answers on subjects that I'm well versed and experienced in. Only to be insulted because the answer I provided didn't fit what the person wanted to hear.

And when that answer pertains to a life threat level activity, then I can't help you if you reject the answer. So hey if you choose to put an unknown 200+ year old pipe bomb next to your head and pull the trigger, then Ok it's not my accident scene. And I'm no longer concerned if you live through the experience or not.
