    When search engines started putting lists of videos in response to every query, I fumed. Trying to find a solution to the game issue you’re having? Here, scan through this 10 minute video and hope you come across the part that discusses your specific issue! Oh, it didn’t actually talk about the thing you need? Lol well at least you watched some ads.

    I think next time I have a game issue, I’ll be asking about it here on Lemmy. Yeah, the audience isn’t as big as on Reddit, but we’ll never know the depth of the knowledge fellow Lemmings have to offer if we never ask.

      Yes I completely agree. The best source for game issues I’ve found is technical discord servers and asking people there. However this is not ideal either because:

      1. Discord is entshitifying and will probably be dogshit in a few years (they recently announced they wanted to go IPO and we all know what that means.)

      2. Discord is not searchable on search engines

      3. Search within discord is dogshit

      4. You have to ask people and wait for an answer which is not guaranteed.

      I probably wouldn’t bank on Lemmy for tech advice. I see the same misinformation posted here as on Reddit for tech.
