Reminds me of a time when I had a strange problem and opened a thread asking for help; I eventually managed to solve it via somewhat esoteric methods and then posted 'nvm fixed it', only to then, years later encounter the problem again, and when I google that exact problem my post is at the top and the only one regarding this issue too, and I've no idea how I fixed it years ago.
Hoist with your own petard 😔
The only time I condone making a reddit account is just to upvote the person who has a detailed explanation or a link on how to fix a pc problem.
Reddit is probably the best online resource for that, crowdsourced solutions to obscure PC/software issues, and the worst resource for absolutely anything else. I call this the "techbro saturation principle"
It's really crazy just how bad the internet has gotten at tech support in like the last decade. It's definitely also a result of every tech standard becoming more and more feature creeped and then slowly becoming incompatible, but just ten years ago if you had a problem you would definitely find at least a handful of people with similar problems.
Also google deliberately degrading their search quality to make people spend more time searching for things, so you get a ton of unrelated garbage and have to try to determine which ones are even the same problem you have.
The last message in threads for issues I was facing yesterday:
"There haven't been any new comments in the last 2 weeks. Locked."
it's not that the info isn't out there, it's that search has been so optimzed for profits, that you can't find shit anymore.
I miss the google from 20 years ago.

Villains who are just evil or lust for power
Those are the most realistic ones though
Villains with better motives than the heroes is realistic too, given how often the heroes are cops, or nobility or some shit
"My goal is to free my people from the systemic oppression the hero's kingdom is responsible for that the hero doesn't know how to fix"

Hate to admit it but chatgpt is really making headway in the "google the question and add 'reddit' at the end" space. There's been multiple google-to-solve things where it found useful info that google results didn't produce.
