One of my biggest gripes with kpop subreddits is when people ask basic questions on certain question subreddits where people ask about stores in their countries like "Are there any safe kpop stores I can order from?" without providing even the most basic details like what country they’re in or whether they’re open to international options. It’s like, if you just gave a little more context like whether you want free shipping over a certain amount or what your budget is people could offer actual, helpful advice. But no, instead we get the same questions over and over because, apparently, the concept of searching doesn’t click for some. In many of the group focused subreddits there are the questions about group members' solo projects, activities or the groups lore. So many posts asking things that are already answered in the sidebars or in easily accessible member profile pages or fandom resource. These threads have been pinned and archived for a reason, but still, people post the same things and refuse to look to the right of the subreddit or acknowledge the search bar. I've even seen posts asking where a active idol went but you could literally search them up on the main subreddit and sort by new and see they had tons of activities recently. It’s not just laziness, either sometimes it feels like the internet savviness doesn't exist anymore. Newer fans especially seem to rely on others to spoon feed them answers instead of taking a minute to dig through the wealth of resources already at their fingertips. Like, how many times do we need to answer "Who’s this idol?" when a reverse image search would solve the problem in a second? Like I get it if they want to get subjective answers and just talk to people about a topic but there's an insane amount of people asking about the same objective questions everyday or ask questions that have been answered before and it would be quicker to make an effort to search for things rather than make a post and wait for someone to maybe answer but nah lemme post another one. Not only does it clog up the subreddit it also makes people leave the community because of the constant barrage of people asking basic questions. Is this like a UI thing like people just miss the search function up top, tech or like website navigation literacy? Do people just not bother to look for hobby wikis, blogs or old forum posts about their interests anymore? Anyways please start using that bar above or a search engine it’s really useful and you don’t really need spam your own thread asking a question to something that has decades of news articles and conversations around it. You can also find a lot of fascinating conversations that were held in the past or blogs that give a snapshot to what fan culture was like. What does everyone else think? Is it not that deep or does everyone else think this is an issue too? submitted by /u/moomoomilky1 [link] [comments]
