Is this sub filled with spam every US election year?

I've only been an active member here for about 2 years but an expat for a bit over 5. I've never seen so much garbage in this sub though since the last couple months.

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but this sub has helped a lot of people and had an awesome community usually. Recently though there are so many crap posts about dreams, ideas, personal motivations for people who "might" move, but haven't even done basic online research. Like most shit would have been easier to type into Google or chatgpt (with source requests) than to type out their whole life story here. It's like a recipe website, 90% of the post is some long winded BS then they finally get to the question, which would have been answered in a 5 second Google search.

Its 2am and I'm drunk, so don't mind me too much.... but C'mon. Can we get an updated sticky (less words more clear) or something about this crap because clearly people don't read the side bar or even use the search function.
