The big one is the fact that you will likely be ignored by a large host of them. Even with modern spam filters, a lot of unsolicited messages are simply a waste of packets. Odds are, even your useful, inquisitive message will be buried under the more disingenuous messages, especially in an age of LLMs. Trying to get in contact with anyone that already has a large audience can be discouraging.

Mate, you need to pull yourself together.

Well, may be true for some people. For me, it is a matter of wasting my time when I have other things I could accomplish.
