Noticed a big shift in how people ask questions here over the last year

About a year ago, most posts were simple, like 'how do I fix a leaky faucet?' Now, I see way more posts with detailed backstories, like 'my 1950s house in Savannah has galvanized pipes and the cold handle drips after I replaced the washer twice.' The change seemed to start around last fall. I think it's because the regulars here got better at giving answers when folks gave more specific info upfront. Has anyone else picked up on this, or is it just me?

You're right, it's like a homework assignment now. My faucet leak post would get a failing grade for lack of detail. Forgot to mention the water hardness, the phase of the moon, and my plumber's astrological sign. People are writing novels just to ask what wrench to use.

Wait, people actually include their plumber's sign? That's wild.
