Reply to comment by QWERKey-UK in Me whenever I ask a question or post a non-meta keyboard in this sub by HydroCigna

> What you think of as elitism is probably just people seeing the same questions asked day after day by low effort posters who can’t be bothered to see if the same question has recently been asked…

Scroll and move on. You or anyone doesn’t need to shit on anyone’s questions. Everyone is a beginner at one point

> This is why the daily questions thread with a 24 hour reset was made I imagine

Yet no one answers those and questions get downvoted. Not good encouragement.

Cool. You answered questions for someone. Not everyone is aware of the search feature and Reddits search feature is absolute garbage. Elitism or shit attitude it’s one in the same.

No... you really need to have think about what you are saying. It appears that you think in a sub with nearly 1.2 million people subscribed to it, that having everyone just ask repetitive questions that someone probably also asked no more than an hour ago is perfectly fine? That would mean that you think this sub exists for that reason... for you... It doesn't.

I bet if I scrolled through your post history, there will be little evidence of you helping anyone, yet you feel that others should help you. Bitch all you like, but I bet that is true.

You don't have to answer every single question dude. There are 1.2 million users on this sub, and one of them can handle it when it gets too much for you.

I fail to see how that adds anything to the argument. It's not whether people's posts get answered or not that was the problem. It was the sheer volume of repeat questions on a daily basis. Loads of people just asking the same questions without even checking if anyone else had asked the same question. You'd see the same "what switch should I get", or "how do I fix a key that double types" questions posted repeatedly by multiple people, often within a short space of time. It just made trying to read this sub awful. If people took the time to read the sub properly, read the wiki, and did a little research of their own before they fired off questions this wouldn't be a problem... but they don't, so it makes sense to have a place for these questions to be asked, and also to have the thread reset every day. The threads are archived. It's not as if it gets deleted, so you can still search for them. Surely you have to agree that it makes more sense for people to just search out existing threads that probably already contain the answers they are looking for instead of just posting the same question again?

You’re trying extra hard to justify why being a dick is ok lol

Quite the opposite. My point is that you complain about people shitting on your questions, but if I take a slice out of your post history at random, there's always an example of you giving short, glib and sarcastic answers to people's questions. Are you saying this is not true?

Cool story kid. We know now who’s one for the elitist here who thinks they’re better than everyone

So when I point out your hypocricy, you default back to the "you're all elitist" mantra and ignore the fact that you are complaining about something you yourself regularly do. (shrug). Ok.

LOL Thanks for the flattery... but LOL.

I know... You seemed to have trouble reading why you are hypocrite. Which is why you are just parroting the same reply as if it validates anything.

You’re an elitist about calling people an elitist. This whole anti-snob gang mentality is the real issue. There is more people out here accusing people of elitism and gatekeeping then there is actual elitism.
