Questions like this seem analogous to "Why do I see so many bad drivers on the road?" I used to participate in several "digital nomad" forums. At first only people actively living that life participated. Then came the people who wanted advice getting started. And then the merely aspirational -- high-school students and people stuck in dead-end jobs dreaming about "becoming" digital nomads. And of course the trolls. No amount of work on FAQs or posting guidelines helped, eventually the forums got swamped with people who contributed nothing but noise and repetition. On Hacker News I see lots of post from people I put in the newb and aspirational category: people with little experience asking questions that have no clear answer ("What language should I use for my side project?"), or seeking general advice to specific questions ("Why can't I get an interview?"). I suppose those all represent steps along the learning process, though I might interpret some of them as laziness, or attention-seeking. I don't know what to do about it, though I do have control over how much of it I read and choose to respond to.
