I don’t understand why newbies don’t take the time to read the fucking sidebar.

99% of questions on this subreddit can be answered with the sidebar. It takes no more than a few hours to take in all the content. Hell, the TRP book can be read in one day and is an absolute gold mine.
Do yourself a favor and read the fucking sidebar. Asking questions on a onesies-twosies basis is asinine and makes you look dumb. Also don’t question the principles of TRP. If you think you’re more intelligent than centuries of content curation you’re sadly mistaken.
TLDR: Read the fucking sidebar and quit questioning the principles of TRP.
