I checked out a question, How to redirect the output of a command to an already existing file without deleting its contents?, that was asked yesterday and got a large amount of upvotes. Some other user then gave, what I would consider a simple answer, and their answer also got a lot of upvotes.

My issue is that the asker could have just done a simple Google search and gotten answers which were essentially the same as the accepted one - (even stackoverflow.com had a lot of pages when I tried "site:stackoverflow.com append output to file bash" ).

If a question can be judged as low quality, such as, the user not trying to search on Google (or alike) for simple problems, is there some other factor(s) which led to this question and answer both being perceived as good which would correlate to the volume of upvotes?
