Complaining that people giving bad advice are encouraging you to talk to a specialist? Wouldn’t it be worse if they encouraged you to listen to them and not ask a specialist?

I don’t see any other options: by definition non-specialists can’t give specialist advice. Specialists aren’t obliged to give free advice, don’t know your situation, and won’t want to prove their qualifications to comment on Reddit. Restricting free speech so nobody can talk outside their knowledge is rife with problems.
