Maybe you should edit your post to say what that is?
Well, to be fair, if you don't know what it is, it's not really useful to know your opinion on the question either.
(I'm being somewhat cheeky here, it would be polite to explain it in the comments at least)
Not everyone has english as primary language, and abbreviations are difficult to know and/or remember.
A simple search for "TRT" tells me a lot about Turkish public broadcasting. With a bit of effort, you could check Wikipedia, which will lead you to the [disambiguation page for TRT](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRT_(disambiguation)
So no, its not trivial to figure out. And the comments in this thread seem to disagree about it being common knowledge as well.
They are not full of shit. You just fell into American defaultism... Search engines just show what's relevant in places you live. /languages you use the engine at. Since they live in Turkey or close to it, they recieve the Turkish Broadcasting as the number 1 option for TRT. / don't use english as their main language.
If I click on their link I get this:
Duckduckgo in Finland, I get the Turkish broadcasting thing, Teaching Recovery Techniques, and several companies with TRT in their name. Only on the 3rd page do I get a mention of Testosterone replacement therapy
You know google searches are personalized right? Not everyone sees the same thing.
