Part of the reason for "lurk 2 years before posting" is so that you can see shillery up close, but remain detached (not respond) and see for yourself the tactics and strategies, how they work, when they work and how/when they don't, see -over time- how others respond (or don't). Another reason is to LEARN - some actual history, read the discussions -8ch was always better for this- read the reading lists, watch documentaries, etc. In combination, this helped people to actually grow, to actually understand the culture and why it is the way it is, and yes, there are very good reasons for it (was never about 11 year old edgelords being able to say faggot and nigger).

With Q came an influx of normalfags & redditors who never bothered to lurk and injected discussions with all sorts of inane faggotry because they never lurked at all. Even those who have 'followed Q' or participated since 8-17 are new, Spring green and ignorant. This is why newfags engage with shills & fakers, why newfags take it personally when someone (or more) disagree or point out flawed logic or criticize absolute shit-tier "memes." This is why newfags call anyone who disagrees or points out faggotry "Shill!!!" and says to stfu, by reflex. This is also why there was an amount of people who had just discovered CFR, BIS and many other topics for the first time and sperged on about - had they actually lurked, they too would already know, and they wouldn't sperg out when people said, Yeah, we know.

Oldfags don't hate newfags. Not at all. It's just that newfags are frustrating sometimes.
