Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Its been driving me crazy, I am so close to abandoning the internet and going back to old reading just out of spite. yesterday I went looking on how to fix something simple a small electric item and all i got was adverts for a replacement, I use DDG and i closed the screen at three pages. I miss when you could simply search a question and the answer was there. Excited to see the resistance starting to emerge.
Try Ifixit next time. If it runs on electricity, there’s a good chance that they have taken it apart and documented how to repair it.
Its finding it in the first place. It wasn’t even a tough question it was actually about changing a plug on something, i just wanted to double check it was suited, but the effort of finding out the info outweighed the effort to just do it. Something like iFixit is a good idea but you have to find it in the first place. These places are so buried now. Thanks for the answer by the way.
Yeah, the modern internet is sadly pretty cooked. We are well and truly past the golden age.
