What I find deeply frustrating and unhelpful on Stack Overflow are answers that don't offer a solution but instead give reasons why the OP shouldn't be doing what they're doing in the first place. Q: How can I do this in jQuery? A: You don't need jQuery. You should be using vanilla JS for that. Q: How can I hide scrollbars using CSS? A: That's bad UX and you shouldn't be doing that in the first place.
The lack of regard for the context of the problem the OP is trying to solve/trust that they have their reasons and project constraints for doing so is annoying and disrespectful.
