I've found that that comic alone has reduced the instances of this sort of thing happening. Not completely, of course, but when people figure it out, they seem much more likely to post the solution. Randall may have single-handedly improved the Internet a few points with that one comic.

Or marked as duplicate and closed but when you click the duplicate it's a different issue.

And there's a comment after closure, also from a decade ago, mentioning that this should not have been closed as a duplicate.
