What a fantastic question, and I appreciate you following the advice of the article!
The answer, sadly, is it depends.
For me, I like to do something every single day that scares me, so I will reach out to a guru with nothing to lose and ask a question that furthers the conversation.
I also like to ask questions to people on the same path so that we can grow and learn together.
As an answerer of questions, I don’t have much of a preference. Anything that allows me to think a little bit extra rather than simply accept what i or others put out there is going to be most beneficial.
Hope that helps!
