Physical encyclopedias are just time capsules of knowledge, sometimes irrelevant. And pricy too. Having them and then saying information is easy to find is entitlement.
I see what you're saying. Top up voted corporate social media posts and AI finding top results for search engines and query requests is exactly why people need to ask other people wtf is going on with anything. It's confusing enough to try to parse through irrelevant information, maybe asking someone will narrow down what you need to know.
Encyclopedias are republished regularly and are free to use at the library, so really... time capsules and entitlement, srsly? Whatevs.
