It's quite sad to see everything related to the blackout on /r/programming wiped.

I had some lengthy period of time where I enjoyed regularly helping folks in r/learnprogramming. But it got exhausting fast. For every person putting in a good attempt at learning, there was 10 people who couldn't do the most basic level of googling and content was often extremely repetitive as a result.
The sub also faced a constant stream of people who just wanted to self advertise their own YouTube videos for teaching programming, as if the lack of such was the barrier to learning.
Oh, and soooo many people who clearly just wanted to be told the answer to their homework questions and weren't even hiding that.
