Why do people ask questions on here they don't actually want an answer too?
If you just want people to agree with you put that in your question lol so I don't waste my time giving an opinion 🤔🤷🏽♀️

Good point ... I will try to make sure I ask for thoughts or opinions at the end of my questions.
@SunKiss3d some questions are seeking answer
Other questions may seek to provoke thought ... sorta like brainstorming
Some questions challenge... the idea there, to establish "position" ... for a follow-up question
Some questions do not seek answers at all ... rather they seek to identify opinions.
Some questions test hypothetical conditions
Some questions actually test the question itself
I often field test questions here ... then use the responses to compose a post I am doing elsewhere
Sometimes a question is testing the interest of others
Myself, I will weave 5-6 questions together seeking the thoughts of others, as I consider a topic.
And sometimes a question is posed as a challenge to "accepted group think"

@questionWeaver well I'll agree to disagree with you. Because that is not the definition of a question. A statement is made to make people think. The literal definition of a question:a sentence worded or expressed so as to elicit information.
That's the literal definition so sure if you want to repurpose the meaning that's okay but I go by the original definition. But again we can agree to disagree 😊😊

@SunKiss3d I am good with that
"Eliciting information" is to provoke thought, discussion, expression ... and opinion is information
Thus, I try to ask, at the end of my posts ... what information I am seeking to elicit ... or the which discussion process I suggest be followed.
Smiling... sometimes we do not have to ask ... sometimes we paint an irony ... some times comic ... with the implication for response ... without ever asking a literal question.
Those are just as effective
