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. The point was that anything you wanted an answer to could be asked, and what made it shit was all the assholes mocking those who dared to ask anything other than basic shit you could have learned in school. They were just supposed to be things that could be answered, and not open-eneded random discussion material like this one.
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

You are saying the same thing as me and proving my point… Did you not understand what I said? It was always about asking questions you might be embarrassed about; it wasn’t always about asking simple questions that had to be based in reality the way it is moderated now and the way OP here thinks it should be.

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