Are too many people asking questions than there are answering?

BP should get a way to make people participate more in answering questions

Devin Mann Which questions? As someone who answers I think most questions get a decent amount of attention. But there does seem to be a flood of the same questions over and over and over. Themes around: 1.) What about _____ turnkey company? 2.) How do I buy 12 units with zero dollars? 3.) Do you have a yellow letter template? 4.) Should I spent $10K on ____ coaching program? Just to name a few. I would imagine there’s some amount of question answering apathy that sets in when question posters don’t use the “Search” function first (or at all). Not that I blame them for asking but you can’t expect an active community to respond to the same question 50 times a week.

And, for whatever it’s worth, I think BP skews towards the newer and less experienced investor. So there are likely a lot of people that either lack the knowledge or confidence to answer. Not that they shouldn’t to lend perspective but it’s a fairly common issue on any forum.
