Imho it's better to answer the same questions a hundred times than implicitly setting a minimum knowledge of anthropology for even participating in the sub.
Somehow I doubt you're the one providing the answers. (**edit:** *Just re-read that sentence, and realized it sounds kind of dickish. That wasn't the intent. I just meant what I say below. Sorry if this seemed dismissive of you, that was definitely not the intention.*)
The posters here who provide the expertise on these subjects (including me) are not going to continue to answer the same questions over and over. It's tedious, and more to the point, it ignores the fact that a good answer may have been written for a particular question only a week ago.
Casual posters of questions here rarely bother to search before asking.
And while you may or may not be a regular reader of this sub, u/CommodoreCoCo and many others who read and post here a lot can certainly attest that there are certain types of low effort questions that are posted so often here in one version or another that it really does make more sense to just remove them.
The noise to signal ratio in this sub isn't as bad as in some subs, but reducing it would still allow better questions *and* better answers to get the views that they deserve.

I'm simply a casual reader, but maybe the mod team can sticky some of the thorough threads that address the most commonly repeated broad questions. That way folks who are interested can go down a rabbit hole already created rather than trying to start one with an insubstantial question.
