Do you also not like that the moderators delete the most interesting questions on the Toaster?

I often notice this situation: an interesting question appears, people begin to actively answer it, and then the moderators delete it (How do you feel about this?

In fact, it happens that the question is deleted because of the answers.
For example, someone asked a discussion question, but formulated it unsuccessfully. And in the answers they begin to petrosian, instead of helping the author to clarify the wording of the question so that it would be interesting to answer it.
I met opinions here that they say that deleting debatable questions is stupidity, but the community is simply not ready for them, almost no one is having normal discussions, and allowing srach and transfusion from empty to empty means destroying the ecosystem.
I formulated my opinion:

Let's be clear:
1. Is Toaster a place to find books/podcasts/video tutorials?
2. Is Toaster a place where you can get career advice (which university to choose / where to go for an internship / how to move to Thailand for permanent residence)?
3. Is the Toaster a place of psychological relief (the boss does not like me / the client says that I have to do everything quickly and for free / tired of programming)?
4. Are the questions "Where to start learning X?" within the scope of the service?
In all cases, I vote "No" - I'm not interested in living on a resource, half of the content on which is slag, either easily searchable by a search engine, or relevant only to the author.

Usually, not interesting questions are deleted, but stupid ones, the answer to which can be easily found in Google. And the popularity of the question (user activity) does not mean at all that the question is interesting and useful for the toaster.

This is not a forum with interesting questions and super original answers.
The fact that some questions are not deleted in time and become a chat does not mean that this is something normal.

lately, it seems that not a single interesting question has been deleted, I read all the questions from the toaster on rss.
it's just that more than half of the questions are stupid now, from schoolchildren, from students, homework, and so on. Probably schoolchildren and students are interested, but the IT community is not.
