Do you ever think that people ask questions only to tell people about what is on their mind rather than get actual answers?

All the time when I browse through various question and answer sites I find people who appear to be crying for attention rather than answers. Then there are people who have genuine questions. The majority of people I think would be in the middle ground of wanting to tell people about their problems and get empathy, solutions and feedback.

Do you think that there should be another medium for people who just want to tell people what they’re thinking or rant if needs be?

If there is a medium out there for that then it is not advertised enough as people seek question and answer sites for the sole reason that they know somebody will read what they say.

I personally think that some people use question and answer sites as micro blogs that many people can see. What are your opinions?
