The Search Function on almost any platform.

Hundreds of posts asking the same question on a particular topic on enthusiast or hobby pages….these bury actual new topics & discussions.

Or people on buy/sell/trade pages looking for certain items, when there’s multiple posted within the last few days, and are still available.
