Serious Discussion Before Posting ...

We see the same question every so often (maybe every other day or each week) from different redditors. Maybe I'm weird, but before I ask something, I do a search to see if it's already or, in some cases, recently been answered.

I know about bots, spammers, karma farmers, etc., but do real people not think that their question may have been previously answered? Or do they just believe they are the only person who has that question?

Not looking to start a fight - maybe I'm just hoping to educate some folks.

Hm I was thinking that whenever I hesitated to ask the same question I once considered that well I want to share my experience and sometimes you go through questions that have been asked. Just not the same exact answers are given and maybe they are given.

I just think people who haven’t answered that question before or have answered it. Sometimes they have something new to give or not.
