At least 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 (especially 5) all seem like legitimate questions that have some probability of receiving good answers when asked in the forums, so it's rational to post the questions. Why do you think people shouldn't post these questions?
(I ask because I worry that people are being attacked for "shitposting" even when their posts are fine by my standards.)
i respectfully disagree.
1) there's no secret, just practice. specific questions about practice (for example "what are good stream maps") aren't shitposts... but there's no real answer other than "keep practicing if you want to be [insert osu player here]". with the number of people asking this question, it's a shitpost
2) if someone wasn't trying to copy cookiezi or [insert osu player here] they wouldn't ask -- and none of us know.
3) no one becomes an olympian after 4 days, it's absurd to expect to pass [insert 7 star map here]
5) no one here is a doctor, if it hurts then stop. pretty common sense imo
9) get better? don't let hp drop to 0? there's no way i could possibly give an answer to a question like that. specific questions like "how do you deconstruct squares into two pairs of jumps" is a meaningful question, and one i can answer.

Maybe these questions are endlessly asked because we have failed to make the answers accessible enough.
I have been thinking for a while about writing a FAQ for the subforum, one that is more complete and better written than the ones currently available.
OT: there's a reason people have to refer posters to the FAQ... because no one reads the FAQ
