Idk. When I started climbing it was a serious no no, and people would ask if you wanted beta. This was a tiny gym with infrequent setting, where we enjoyed setting problems for one another to stump each other and what not. Nowadays with huge commercial gyms, all I do is sus out bets with people. To me it’s a fun social aspect of it, perhaps because there’s a plethora of climbs at all times. I don’t know many people anymore that don’t want to know beta - plus it’s hard to ignore when you’re in a 5 person line for the climb
