BTW, scriptt what you did takes a lot of smarts. I congratulate you for doing it. And you and a lot of others (me too) have proven it is possible by doing it. But it's not even close to being the right thing to do for the vast majority of people who would like to get into the hobby. And the instructions in the manuals might as well be Hieroglyphics for some of the people. And those being the percentage who actually read and follow the instructions.

Trust me, the people who can succeed by themselves don't need encouragement and support from anyone. But the ones of them that actually do succeed are going to need some luck. And no amount of cheerleading is going to give that to them.
