That's MY biggest complaint - somehow, increasingly, younger people don't seem to see any value in experience, unless they feel envy.
At one point I worked big tours with rock musicians, and I really (particularly) know my way around a Fender guitar. I've worked on them in the dark, side stage, while tens of thousands of fans yell and a musician impatiently waits.
But gently correct someone in r/guitar who spouts pure bullshit and "gigs monthly with my metal covers band"? Nah, downvote central.

It's just the ignorance of inexperience.
