The cost of learning of some subjects, subjects of science, can be very high. I think that some new users are students that maybe they didn't have the opportunities that I in the life. All these are words and good feelings, and equity, a different thing is if there are statistics about if the situations that I emphasize that I believe that happen, have a real impact in some of these sites for the new contributors (student of certain subjects). | |
| May 24, 2020 at 19:14 | comment | added | user250478 | (1/2) I understand and respect if some user wants to downvote my answer in this post on Meta.

For info about overcoming a question ban, and related info, please see meta.stackexchange.com/q/86997/334566 | |
