Nobody here has ever helped me, and I have had to dig and scrape everything out for myself.
I am a strong believer in free and open knowledge (as long as it's not self-destructive). But over the years as I've openly shared my novel information I've found that it is never acknowledged, much less appreciated, much less reciprocated.
A culture in this community has developed of hiding info, led by the what I call the 'Cabal Of Three'. I object to this, but who am I to question it? Most here who don't have the knowledge, are too weak to do something about this culture politically (ie financially), and so it is unlikely to change. Until that happens, follow (pay) the leaders, however repugnant. I know how to survive, and I have far better ways of making money. (That's a secret too)
