"Brand" seems to be the name of the game lately. We encourage these "beginner experts" to post tutorials and articles because "everyone should blog!"/"our publication wants more views" yet we do no hold them accountable to their poor research and writing.

We may laugh and ignore this guy, but these kind of posts can seriously hurt and confuse beginners.

What sucks is that this guy seems genuinely nice and wants to help... but IDK. I personally would never post anything unless I am 100% sure it's correct (when applicable).

This way there won't be any potentially helpful comments though. Why not add a disclaimer stating you are still learning or something similar? Just don't claim to be an expert.
