When my first son was born, my wife subscribed to a website called something along the lines of "The Net Midwife". A former midwife answered health questions from parents.
All her answers were available online for free but if you wanted her to answer your questions, you would have to pay for the subscription.
Why would you want to pay for something which was freely available to you?
Well as it turns out, even though 99% of the questions parents asked were already answered parent's had this idea that their child was unique and they would ask questions like "my child coughs and it says a little noise everything she inhales right after"
The only group of people more naive and easy to persuade are modern dog people.
Yeah, perhaps because people thought I meant I would never use an advice given. What I meant was that I would never buy a book to get advice. Anyway...
The trick is getting people to give advice when you ask for it. Having advice fired at you by every human you meet seems to be a thing. Even wearing headphones doesn’t stop them.

That gave me a good laugh, thanks.
Modern dog people are those too sensitive to have lasting relationships or the responsibility of a baby human and therefore their dog is their baby-by-proxy.
