The first point is really common in programming. If you ask a "stupid" question, you don't get an answer like "here's how to do it, but by the way, you could also do this instead" but just flame you with "you shouldn't have been doing X". Good example is FTP. Obviously, for anything requiring any kind of security, use SFTP. But I kid you not, almost all FTP-related questions on the internet have answers like "are you still using that INSECURE protocol in 2020??" without being constructive at all. Even if it's just some random hobby project. Or a legacy system they can't change. Doesn't matter, it's more important to score points from virtue-signaling than actually helping the poster.
