The sub on Reddit only became more filled with “common sense” questions when it became basically the only sub one could ask a question of any kind without it automatically being removed due to the bigger question asking subs being so strictly controlled to where only 3 or 4 regular users could actually make a fuckin’ post.

I was subscribed to it the first week it existed so I know that your story is completely fabricated. The origin is even in the subreddit wiki…

/r/NoStupidQuestions was founded in February 2013 for people to feel free to ask the questions they might be embarrassed or ashamed to ask elsewhere. Inspired by this thread and specifically this comment

  Look at the questions in that thread. It was always about silly little questions
  
  So you agree with me, while saying you don’t? Did you not understand what I said?

    Silly little questions as in common sense stuff. “How often do I really need to wash a hoodie?”
