That sounds a lot like a perverse albeit unintentional incentive to keep users relying on a platform that shouldn't be trusted. Give this a read, as Karl Voit explains it nicer than I can; I'd also like to highlight that any sort of info that you find in Reddit is highly unreliable, due to the excessive local leniency towards certain types of irrationality.

Also note that this is an easy issue to solve, from both sides. People looking for help can always look for it elsewhere; and people willing to help can migrate their content elsewhere.
