    Just today I noticed how low skilled the reddit base seems to be in my general meme/tech/piracy thrmed feed.
    So many basic questions that could literally be answered by or get a start on from ChatGPT etc.
    Instead they pollute the subs with their low effort requests for help or guidance.

    Example: How to get started on pirating anime.

    That was a legit title…

      The younger generation is less tech savvy than the millenial generation who were forced to figure stuff out themselves and didn’t have smartphones.

      I get the idea that a lot of people who emigrated to the fediverse are older and also more tech literate given all the linux memes.

        I don’t want to bash those folks that want to liberate themselve but this is either a designed request to engage discussions (state a correct fact, nobody responds vs. state a purposefully wrong fact and everyone and their dogs will come to correct them) or they are literally unable to search google on how to pirate.

        This is like being unable to look up porn by themselve searching “Woman tits naked”.

          You have a point. Helps increase engagement, like making a spelling mistake or rage bait.

          Tiresome, but common.
