It depends on who is asking for help. But for many, it doesn't help them to answer too quickly:
- sometimes it's like giving the spout to a child who doesn't know how to use a spoon yet.
- sometimes it's like answering someone who could have found the answer by searching 20 seconds on Google.
Answering too quickly can make your interlocutors dependent on you.
Similarly, before asking someone for help, it is usually a good idea to spend 30 minutes looking for the solution yourself. The time lost is more than made up for later.
Doing nothing is often a good way of naturally assessing the importance of a request. Generally, if the request is really important, the person will keep on asking until you respond.

But in fact this unpredictability seems essential to the process. If we each knew the other person’s exact limits, then we might try to push them right up to but not past their limits."
If you don't like what you see on TikTok, you need to press your screen a couple of seconds, then select "I'm not interested". It takes a couple of hours before the algorithm filters all the content you dislike.
And when you see a lot of similar vidéos (a "trend"), use the "hide the videos with this song". Most of the time, all the videos from a trend use the same music.
