Why ask-ubuntu can seem frustrating to the average user

So, I've been using askubuntu for a while now, but the whole the is rigged against the average user. So the same thing happens every time I have a problem on my computer and I go here for an answer First off I'm asking the question and I can't use pictures to describe my problem because I need "reputation" So once I do get an answer some hot shot dirt bag comes in and dislikes everything. He dislikes the answer because he has a better way of doing things that he doesn't feel like sharing, dislikes the question because A.He doesn't like it for whatever reason. B.There's a similar question and it's a "duplicate" (which I already read with no success)

Next when A new user comes in and asks a question (that I know the answer to) one of two things happen A.He gets the answer but can't vote the answer up because he's in the same boat i'm in) B. The hot shot dirt bag comes in and dislikes it because he has a "better" more complicated answer.

Let's look at this example

Ubuntu boots to "Read Only Filesystem" after Upgrading

So after upgrading my computer will not start so I go to askubuntu and after an hour I find a solution replace systemd with upstart and my computer starts well I decide to share my answer and again a hot shot comes in dislikes my answer because he has a "better" answer that he doesn't feel like sharing. This happened to me about 5 times

So I pretty much can't do about anything due to the hot shot bullies who misuse the reputation system.

Any solutions on how I can actually use askubuntu would be appreciated because so far the easiest thing is to just switch communities.
