A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Never said that. Don't be so defensive without reason. I said when they ask the same old question that can be answered directly from google far more reliably with guides that will solve every single question. Perhaps comprehend the statement before commenting.
People with experience. A lot of people on subreddits tnat are for critiquing photographs typically have a bit of experience that they can pass on. Even if they aren't experienced, they can give another perspective on how the photo could be improved or how they would have taken it.
If you think Google is more reliable than people in regards to photography, I would find your qualifications to be questionable. It's a useful tool but it isn't better than real critique from real people.
You never said it outright but saying novice photographers posting instead of googling some answers insinuates that they at least annoy you and can go as far as they shouldn't, especially when you propose the alternative is a Google search.
Inexperienced ppl steer you the wrong way. If you want to learn you do workshops. That's it. If you want critique you submit to an actual contest with people who are 100% masters in their field. Not the average Joe who knows 3 basic things and 7 wrong and acts smart. And again I didn't said that ppl sharing photography annoy me. Ppl starting out have more fantasy than ppl who have tried it all and know what works. What annoys me is lazy ppl who post "what is Kelvin".
