Happens a lot more when the search engine prioritizes SEO farms and random sponsored shit.

It’s the biggest reason why I use chat gpt. I could search across the web for all sorts of unrelated shit. Or I could get a chatbot to spit out a 90% correct answer and fix the last 10%

Been starting to infect Reddit as well in the past couple of years, so the old trick of just adding Reddit to a query is no longer helpful.
God forbid I want to see normal peoples' opinions on what the best [blank] is.

Serious. Even in the last few months search engines have become total shit. I do a search I've done before, looking for a common issue, and the answer is gone to the aether. Both Bing and Google are absolute horse shit. Tried others and yielded the same results.

How to defrost Samsung refrigerator?
Results: 9000 ads for the refrigerator and not one user manual or specs page.

EDIT: I fixed it!

Now it's "This Reddit comment was deleted"
-
Edit: I'm an asshole!

Nah. Someone answered the question 3 years ago on a random Discord channel.
-

Discord is for chatting, not documentation. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs their brain examined.

Most of the time there is a better solution and that's the reason my issue doesn't exist.
-
Same, it usually ends up being an X-Y problem and I have to take a step back.

This was me today, I'm making a JRPG in GoDot. I made my pause menu today and I tried running it. It took me to my battle scene.. I then kept trying different things with no luck. I then tried running the game... My battle scene popped up! I was so confused, googled it with no solution. Them I started trouble shooting, deleting things til it worked... After that I got autoloader errors, so I removed it from the autoloader.... Somehow that fixed it.. I dont know how but cool.

Man, I've been working on a JRPG in Godot as well. I haven't encountered any problems like that but now I feel like I'm just waiting for it to happen

My best advice, have a copy of the project you work on. Then if it all works save it over the master copy. It's easy to break stuff.

I nowadays typically have three outcomes to similare situations:
- I find my own question without solution from a while ago
- I find my own comment or blog entry describing how to fix it
- I find a friends comment or blog entry on how to fix it
-
When you Google a problem and see 15 Reddit posts asking about the same problem and all the answers are "just Google it".
-
Or when you have a problem that seems adjacent to another problem that many people have, but their solution doesn't work for your niche case.
-
This happens much more often than the other one.

No, there's one other person, it was 14 years ago, and the only response was themselves saying "nvm, figured it out"
-
Marked as solution.

I had video of the computer registering a button press but Rocket League not registering the button press in game DM'd directly to a dev on Reddit after they asked. They couldn't replicate the problem and it was never fixed. Just, for some reason, every once in a while I try to jump and it doesn't jump even though using an overlay showing button inputs will register the button click.

I’m sure I’ll get shit for this, but AI is often a good tool to use for these situations.
-
Like some other user said, if nobody ever had this problem, it was never answered and AI would have never got the data to train in the first place unless ofcourse it pulls something totally made up out of its ass.
-
Gotta disagree. Sometimes you’re working with something old, where there is documentation, but very little actual conversation online. Or a topic that no longer has an active community online, but you just need some basic questions answered.
knowing how to get the right info by using the right prompts is a skill that not everyone has, which is why so many people get inaccurate answers.
