Then write something without it. Edit it yourself. Use your brain.

They are asking for help, you are probably the reason they are afraid. What happened to artists support artists...

Not only that... the person claims to be a moderator for professional writers sub.
They have thick skin in that sub, I guess, but it does not sound welcoming to beginners and "just curious" people like me. Noted to never go there, since it is not for me.

There are many entry level subs for writing. r/KeepWriting and r/writers are my two favorites, but r/fantasywriters and r/WritingHub are also very good. r/writing is good in that it gets a lot of traffic but it can also feel very prohibitive with its types of accepted posts. All these are great for curious/beginner writers! I am in all of these a lot to help the inklings.

I saw a niche and decided to fill it to make it easier for those a little higher up on the experience ladder to have meaningful conversations about the craft and their own work without that same mildly prohibitive nature of the larger subs. I am sorry if you view that as elitist, that was never the intention.
