This site is for us to share our research with others. "Always verify" makes sense as a precaution, but "Do your own research" just sounds lazy and really isn't helpful.
Not everyone can "monitor the situation" to the degree of rigor that thorough research requires. Many are still waging a daily war of just trying to survive among crippling debt and overwhelming inflation. Some use GAW simply to help filter out the excess noise on X (since most posts here are just reposts of stuff from X anyway).
Please be mindful that many are not as blessed with their free time as you might be.
Picture somebody who can't count past 5 walking into a basic math class and asking why the upside down L and curly b make 1 and 3 (7+6=13). It's not like the class has anything super advanced going on, but you gotta learn how to count before you jump into the conversation.Typically when somebody answers do your own research, the info in question isn't hard to find. The worst thing they teach in school is that there are no stupid questions.
