    I find it kinda rude when people do this tbh - were trying to add and share content here, not pump up google and other places.

    Imagine telling someone you’d like to hear what they like to do or don’t do and they tell you to google it…

    Just thought I’d share

      Dude this bugs me so much. More so when it’s in a personal conversation, and the person says idk Google it. Particularly if it’s something they’re clearly interested in. I’m not looking for the information as much as I am the dialogue.

        I get the social part, but to me it seemed that the person was not even trying to inform themselves about the basics a bit before engaging in a discussion. This way you’re just getting the same questions over and over again and the same answers.

        Out of respect I always at least try to get some info before asking people questions. This way both sides may profit because you might also be able to contribute new information they didn’t know about.

        And if you don’t wanna use YouTube you can still use Newpipe/Startpage e.g… it’s not impossible to find alternative means.

          Right that’s the problem I had with it - you make the assumption that people are choosing to be ignorant rather than the reality which is that they’re choosing to be social.

          Better to assume the best of people, flies w/ honey not vinegar etc etc

          Just thought I’d share my perspective with ya ❤️

            Yeah like I said, I think the person was being social and ignorant at the same time. The world is not black and white and I’m not saying they did bad. I just think a lazy question deserves a lazy answer.

            And YouTube actually has videos about this exact process. It’s not like I’m shitposting by pointing towards some abstract entity with no meaningful help or knowledge.

            Things said, no hate or anything from me ♥️ hope everyone finds what they looking for and people have more patience than me, with those preferring conversation over quick answers to their questions ;)
