DAE remember when you could just ask a question without getting a sales pitch?

Three years ago, I asked on a forum how to fix a leaky gutter and got a straight answer from a guy in Omaha. Last month, I asked the same thing on a new app and got five messages from roofing companies in my area trying to book a quote. It just feels like every place to ask anything is full of people trying to sell you stuff now. Has anyone found a good spot online where people just give real answers?

My brother swears by old car repair forums from the 2000s. Says the guys there just want to talk about fixing things, not sell you parts.

Ever notice how those old forums had a real sense of community? @ruby494 is right, people just shared knowledge without trying to make a buck off you. It's harder to find that honest help now.
