Gurus are ruining the narket

I grow increasingly frustrated with gurus suggesting that newbie's enter the flipping business as it is over saturated. Hard to aquire properties at reasonable prices

Sounds like you're gatekeeping. I highly doubt the influx of new investors is the primary factor why you're unable to acquire deals at reasonable prices. At some point, we all had to enter the real estate market, and I'm certain when you were new there was an experienced flipper saying the same thing you're saying now. 

What's the alternative? Do we not want people to follow their dreams and change their lives for the better?

The camaraderie in the Biggerpockets' community has gone downhill significantly since I joined in 2015. Everyone seems so bitter and jaded these days.
