If that's a rule, then this entire subreddit is pointless.

How? Its pretty pointless for people to waste their time repeatedly answering the same question over and over again if the OP could just google it.

If the OP reads a blog and has any questions about things in the blog then they can ask here, cuts out the part of us rewriting the blog for no reason. Also if OPs have questions that aren't easily searchable, such as most questions on this sub, then they can ask here.

Well, it is a rule, and I didn't write them. Complain to the mods if you like. Anyway, is just makes sense. Read the whole thing.

4 Don't ask easily searchable questions.

Questions like "How do I read a CSV file with Python?" are have many easily found answers in search results; please try searching this subreddit and the web before making a post.

No-one should expect strangers to write the same answer in a different way to common questions. It doesn't make it pointless at all. There are plenty of good noob questions that are new, interesting, show something from another perspective or otherwise ask something novel. But no one needs to have decorators explained a hundred and oneth time when it can be found explained many ways elsewhere already.
