Always been like that in my experience.
I remember being frustrated asf as a teenager by people not understanding words or knowing how to spell things. My brother in christ, you have a phone and an internet connection in your pocket with access to basically the entirety of human knowledge. Fucking Google it.

I mean, have you actually tried to search for shit lately? It’s a fucking mess

It’s gotten worse, I won’t argue that. But basic stuff is still quite easy/straightforward to look up, and using search modifier tools is still incredibly useful in narrowing down results.

Up to a point.
And, when the kind of pricing protesting going on is against a fascist regime attempt, don’t you think that maybe guiding people n to avoid the corporate infrastructure is a wise thing?
I mean, that and telling people to Google it instead of using an appropriate forum is douchey as hell

There are other search engines than google. VPNs and anonymizing extensions also exist. “Appropriate forums” can and are infiltrated by fascist government agents all the time, so don’t pretend like it’s that much safer.
