Why do people use forums as google?

It is really annoying and i want to know why people do it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I know what this is but i want to know why you think people do it)

Bro, opening Google is too hard.

[Hman1250]

Because everything on google is relied on yahoo answers and idiots

This is relevant.

what if I told you if people never asked dumb questions on forums, there'd be nothing to bring up when people google those dumb questions? 

[Godlygamer23]

When people use Google to find an answer to a question, they usually reference a forum...Now imagine no one asked on a forum. You wouldn't have an answer and ask on a forum.

Because I've been put into the shoes of those people. I've tried using Google. You always get tomshardware, unreliable answers, and some youtubers you've never heard of.

These forumns are trustworthy 97% of the time and I feel I get better answers from here. What if that person looked up what's better fx 8350 and i7-4790k and CPU Boss is the first link? Well the fx will win because of how unreliable they are and they'd end up with a crappy fx8 over a much better 4790k

Fuck fucking toms hardware. One of their top members, with a lot of questions answered, literally thinks TV's have GPUs that boost game console performance over pc monitors. 

60-70% of that forum is full of fucking idiots like that. I mean LTT is full of green people and people under 18, but at least the vast majority of people here are not retarded, and we actually have experts.

The vast majority of people even if they under 18 atleast know what they are doing. Heck I'm 14, yeah I don't know everything but I know enough to help someone out with picking parts, telling them about the OEM of PSUs which is the biggest thing I see people do wrong whilst picking parts or just helping out with whatever I can in general.

We will say, "DON'T GET CX PSU OR OEM" with pride.

Sometimes I'm not so sure :^)

Well it's not just corsair CX PSUs it just seems that a lot of people who are first time builders seem to choose that. I see every once in awhile someone gets a EVGA G1 ( made by FSP, a not so great PSU maker ) ect ect. But yeah we will also say don't get those Kingston SSDs, ( yah know the one, SSD now 300 what not, never memorized the name ).

[Dredgy]

There is a difference between searching for an answer to your question and actually having someone answer your question.

Like when you make a shit topic to make a point
