Why don't people put their source(s)?

When people answer a question how come a lot of them don't put a source or link to where they got the info?

    It really depends on the question and I would think it would be up to the Asker to prompt the Best Answer candidate for sources if they have a need to investigate further. I also think that most people who provide answers go from memory and experience and wouldnt have the time/energy to go back and look up the sources.

    When I answer on here, my source is usually just knowlege I've aquired from living my life. most of the questions I look at on here are asking for opinions anyway. Everybody has them. some are better than others because some people have had more life experiences and have a lot to draw from.

    Most of the time my source is me. Sometimes not but this is my first computer and idk how to copy links.
