Uncovering Stackoverflow's Toxicity

I actually had an experience like this today. Being a beginner at Python Flask, I asked a question on Stack Overflow. I formatted my question just as everyone else does, included my code, and made sure to be clear in describing the problem. People downvoted me to -2 within the first hour and didn't answer. Someone commented with a link to a barely-related question and clearly didn't read my whole question. On Reddit, I think a beginner question would at least receive 1 or 2 upvotes, but Stack Overflow is just brutal. I understand downvoting unclear or badly worded questions with vague questions or no code, but mine was just fine, people just didn't want to answer because I was a beginner.
