That moment I realized most people are cleaning their dryer vents wrong

I was at a job in Phoenix last week. Lady said her dryer was taking 3 cycles to dry a load. I pulled the vent and it was half clogged with lint. She told me she cleans the trap every time. So I asked how she cleans the vent. She said she just vacuums the opening. That's the problem. You gotta disconnect the whole line from the back of the dryer and blow it out from the outside. I see this all the time. People think cleaning the lint trap is enough. Anyone else run into this?

Oh come on, is it really that big of a deal?

Wait, is it like "don't walk on the grass" level or "don't wear white after labor day" level? Because I've seen people lose their absolute minds over someone putting pineapple on pizza, and I'm pretty sure the world didn't end over that either. Unless this is about someone microwaving fish in a shared break room, then yeah, that's a war crime and we need to talk. But if it's about something dumb like folding fitted sheets the wrong way, maybe we all need a nap.

Can't believe people actually think vacuuming the opening is enough. @amy_murphy85 you seen this?
