> Those people that purposefully refuse to share knowledge so that they can monetize it.

Since when do individuals have an obligation to share knowledge for free?



They don't, however refusing to do so usually indicates a lack of skill. Capable people don't need to purposefully control the flow of information just so that they have an advantage. They have an advantage because they're capable.

Of course there may be other and actual valid reasons for why someone might not share all information. That's not what I'm talking about in the previous comment though.
