@b0rk For me, it mostly depends on how much I know about the tool and how common/obscure and simple/complex I know the task is.
“How do I save curl output to a file instead of stdout” ==> `tldr`
“A webpage said to use the -U option, what does that mean?” ==> man page
“What even is this?” ==> man page
“I need to use ffmpeg” ==> web search 😶🌫️

when do you usually use the man page for a complex command line tool to answer a question you have?
