You're forgetting about the schmuck on the other end of that equation that has to answer the same question a thousand times over.

A server I'm in actually has a bot that, whenever a user types a command, will respond to a question with an answer.

Simple example:

@\Johnny: "Hey, my browser says 404, what does that mean?"

@\Support: !\404 @\Johnny"

@\Bot (using Discord's reply feature to reply to Johnny's post): "'404' is a common error message that can be caused by a variety of issues. Here are steps to resolve the most common issues:..."

I didn't feel like typing out steps to check if the website is down for everyone or to fix it if it's just you, but you get the idea.
