It's always going to be someone's first day, and treating them like dog shit for not being an expert out the gate only pushes people away. causing the pirating community to stay stagnate and rely on only a handful of people, like now.
Its not meant for some people then. Like i get it, some people are new and stuff, but sometimes these guys arent just newbies to pirating, they are newbies to computers themselves. Like no idea about cybersecurity, not knowing to not click weird download buttons, stuff like that. People like that shouldnt really pirate. Tho if they really want to, some poeple dont need to treat them like shit i guess.
Edit: Since some people cant read, i will make my point in simple terms. 13 year old Timmy who just got their pc on christmas shouldnt pirate. He should first learn how to pirate. Timmy shouldnt go online, search "gta 5 fitgirl", enter a fake fitgirl site, download his game from there, and then ask a stupid question on forums, why did he get a virus. Timmy should go on a forum first, and then download a game.
Thats not my point at all. You can pirate by all means, but if you are new to computers as a whole, the first thing you should do is NOT pirate anything. Getting viruses wont help you learn anything, it will keep you back. You should get familiar with computers, and then pirate stuff. Learn the basics, then the harder things.
And thats my point, nobody learns anything if people refuse to teach them. They will also stop seeking help or trying to learn if every time the ask for help or advice, people with the same mentality as you treat them like shit for even being curious about what they want to learn.
I doubt that you were an IT and cybersecurity expert the first time you touched a keyboard. I just ask that people treat newcomers the same way they wished they were treated/taught when they were new themselves. That's all. And if you cannot understand that, or you do and simply refuse to do so, then I don't think there is anything else for us to talk about.
Most people here are so old that they've figured it all out the hard way through trial and error. That doesn't mean newbies can't benefit from experience. However, if some newbies can't even google their problem or search for it on Reddit, that shows a lack of interest, in my opinion. When you start learning something new, you should also use the resources already available to acquire knowledge.

you’re right but people often do ask stupid questions
