I have a great rule to promote self reliance. I'll gladly help you, but if the answer is in the first 20 results on Google, it costs you 50 euro.

I only had one relative get angry, asking how he was supposed to know if it was. I told him to check, and he angrily said "well then I might as well do it myself".

Exactly.

Those first 20 results in 2025:

1-4: AI slop
5: Reddit thread (no comments)
6: Reddit thread (comment including the solution has been deleted)
7-9: AI slop
10: Microsoft support forum (two pages of generic advice from support workers located in India who get paid a starvation wage)
11-12: stack exchange (both with poorly written questions followed by angry comments)
13: quora (nonsense mixed with stuff that somehow actually makes things worse???)
14: Wikipedia
15-17: AI slop
18: Reddit thread (only one comment "nvm figured it out")
19: Arch Linux forum (links to Arch Wiki)
20: the actual solut... no wait, it's also AI slop

You vastly overestimate the level of these questions. Think "how do I send photos on Whatsapp".

Most of the stuff is accurately answered by the shitty AI most of the time.

20??? I'm pretty sure if you scroll down past 5 results you're already in the top 1% of users doing so.
