I try as much as possible to not bother people, I spend hours, sometimes days trying to find solutions. I do everything I can possibly do before I ask for help, aka when I'm only completely stumped do I ask for help. I did this in a game on here recently because I couldn't figure out the exact trigger to get an event, dev helped me out, it was my save file.
It's also a lot more common of a scenario than you think, unfortunately. It's either a combination of laziness and ignorance, or just one of them. I've seen people literally miss the solution said 1-3 posts above them, so I dunno man lol.
