in fact, these 'just google it' answers wouldn't have had to exist in the first place without the *redundant question* that didn't bother to do any research.

I already said that. Before you in fact. My point is that all you do is make it worse if you make a super long post about not googling (I say this as someone who is searching the answers, not asking the question)

writing out an elaborate post that mirrors an already existing wiki is work. finding a link to said wiki and making sure its relevant to the question is work. all work that you should be doing, not me.

You're constantly refuting straw man arguments. I don't need you to find a link. I need you to not say anything. I don't want to read your long irrelevant post raging about someone not doing research before I know I should look onto the next link in my google search. Again, I'm saying this from the perspective of someone who never asks the question in the first place. I always search it. All you're doing is slowing down my work and getting in my way otherwise.

on stack exchange this is mitigated in two ways: down voting bad unresearched questions, and closing them with links to duplicate questions/answers.

Finally, an actual fyi, rather than a silly attempt at refuting an argument that was never made in the first place. Yes, that is nice. Obvious, but nice.
