Why do so many people use negative reinforcement when its been proven ineffective?

I think some people pretend to guide others to get an ego boost and also attention and respect and they do it cause they want the symbolic license to hate and vilify those that reject their counsel. Because putting others down makes them feel dominant and superior and comparatively more important then the one they hate. A lot of fake guides purposely frame their advice in words they know their intended student will reject by withholding the rationality and strategies and rewards behind following it cause they want their advice to get rejected so that they can hate and judge the person who rejects their advice and convince themselves that they are superior to them, which by logical extrapolation, makes them superior to others not yet encountered, as well.

Because it’s easy, positive reinforcement takes a lot of patience and understanding and also takes a while to come into effect.

It depends on the type. Physical castration for rape and especially gruesome ways of enacting the death penalty can work.
