Most of the problems I come across were already faced by someone else.

Do you guys feel the same?

They all have that same irritatingly obsequious and simultaneously infantile dunning-Kruger customer support agent vibe when responding. Never posted there myself, but all the responses feel like they’re written in that tone.
