In the context of online discussions:
I'm pretty big on spending, say, 100 seconds on Google when I see something interesting come up on Lemmy or in a group chat or something. I often find a snippet or a photo I can reply with, and from there I might ask a question that digs deeper. I might be able to do more research to answer the further question myself, but at that point I've shown some interest and further discussion may seem less burdensome since at least the person doesn't have to paraphrase the first sentence of the relevant Wikipedia article.
