In summary: Google changed its algorithms recently, which made it difficult for some people to find good information.

i mean the experts of this pf such as hallsofivy,hurkyl,tom,grime and others.
when you have questions which internet forum do you go to ask them? I am assuming you don't ask here because usually you are answering and don't ask question here.

OHHHH! Giving away secrets huh? Well I'll have you know I Googled "types of punishment" to find out what should be done to you for your loose lips. Here's what I came up with:BDSM, bondage,chains, heels, enemas, large objects, extreme anal, rope, fisting and more.
Wasn't what I had in mind, but go ahead and pick one.

I'm not sure if lqg had Nereid in mind when asking the question, but The_Professional gave one, very important, source. To add to that great source however, IMHO, one needs to have some understanding of which of the links that great internet librarian provides are likely to be worthy of even opening, then to skim an opened link, finally to read (and understand!) what is comes onto your computer screen. Unfortunately, there's an awful lot of stuff on the net which is inaccurate, misleading or just plain wrong.

Of course, Google isn't the only source ...

Web of Science is a search engine for scientific literature. I have access to it at work. Sometimes I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, and I go to our technical library. We have librarians who are very good at cutting through the deadwood to find solid information.

I've often seen Janus with his head buried in The Junior Encyclopedia of Space

I hope they just go back to the axioms or first principles and tough it out alone :)
I wouldn't consider myself an expert until I could do the same.
Happy thoughts

2. Are there specific online platforms that experts use to find answers?

These include forums and discussion boards, academic databases, and online communities specifically for experts in a certain field. Some experts also use social media platforms to connect with other professionals and exchange information.

3. Can experts find answers through networking?

Absolutely. Networking with other experts in their field can be a valuable way for professionals to find answers. By attending conferences, workshops, and other events, experts can share knowledge and collaborate with others to find solutions to complex problems.

4. How do experts determine the credibility of the sources they use to find answers?

Experts use a variety of methods to determine the credibility of their sources. They may look for evidence-based research, check the credentials of the author or organization, and consider the reputation of the publication or website.
