I am amazed this is still going.
I remember Google showing results for this for most technical questions. My experience encountering a paywall.
Stack Exchange may be very unfriendly to use, but it is miles better than this.
I remember this. Back then I'd be googling how to do advanced filters in excel.
I usually just scrolled to the bottom to see the answers, they were dumped below the "paywall" and actually were sometimes good answers not available elsewhere.
