Why do people share their “profitable” trading strategies?

This is something I’ve never fully understood.

If someone has a genuinely profitable strategy, why would they teach it to others? In theory, the more people use the same approach, the more the edge gets diluted or disappears altogether.

Even if someone already has enough capital, it still feels counterintuitive to openly share something that works in a competitive market. Especially when markets adapt and inefficiencies don’t last forever.

Is it really about education, or more about promoting courses, building an audience, or monetizing attention instead of trading itself?

I'm interested to see how others think about this.
