I'd go further and say that they're actually the bane of my existence when I'm looking for help/pointers on, for example, Windows issues. Inevitably somebody will have posted the same issue on one of the public Windows support forums, but the only responses will be completely low value and irrelevant nonsense[0] from the swarm of numbskulls who seem to inhabit these places. Almost never do I actually find any useful information, but these places pollute the first page, sometimes the first few pages, of search results on Google et al. Very frustrating.
[0] E.g., suggesting that the user needs to completely reinstall Windows to fix an issue that could be dealt with by a simple registry hack, or similar.
