The reason why I disagree is that commenters don’t always have the full picture. When I already know exactly what I need, receiving many comments, but none helpful, is exhausting. Sometimes it’d be nice to have help on a specific problem without having to convince strangers of every other choice I made in the path.
An example: I’ve seen people on Reddit ask for help with Linux drivers and be told to buy new hardware entirely. Or ask if a dumbphone supports Whatsapp, and be told to ditch it by Americans who think it’s just another social network that you can opt out of.
