Do Real Estate Agents Shun FSBO Properties?

So I'm genuinely curious about this topic, and I apologize if it's been covered previously.  I've been thinking a lot lately about sellers who go the fsbo route but say they are willing to entertain buyers with agents.  I did this recently with a flip home and had my own experience, but I'm curious to hear about yours.

Buyers... have you ever approached your agent about a fsbo property and felt like your agent steered you away from that property just because it was fsbo?  I'm interested to hear what experiences you've had.

Agents... how do you really feel about fsbos? Do you avoid them because they potentially degrade your trade, are you impartial to them, or are you big fans?  I'm curious to learn where on this spectrum you lie.

And sellers... I'm interested in your experiences.  Do you feel shunned by agents because you chose fsbo vs. listing through an agent?

Thanks all!
