If a newbie asks what is a good wallet to use?
Bitcoin User will answer the hardware wallet which is not free. Yes it is safest but not a newbie-friendly

Instead of a web wallet that is free and easy to use. Every wallet has its own flaws in order to secure your bitcoin you have to learn how to use it and make it secure.
It's naturally best to recommend what is best to use when being asked tbh. Besides that, when someone asks questions, there are a lot of answers which yes, mostly are hardware wallets, but some also introduce exchange wallets or online wallets, though it may get buried in the numerous amount of posts. Up to the OP to actually find them though.

If a newbie asks how to earn bitcoin?
Bitcoin user will say Signature campaign which is also not newbie friendly because you cant join the signature campaign now if you are a newbie.until they discover the altcoin campaign where they can join but will be disappointed sooner or later because of not getting paid and leave bitcoin and tell that it is a scam.

Instead, teach them one of the basic ways to earn bitcoin which is micro earning where they can earn small amount of bitcoin like faucets for them to test bitcoin
Faucets are a waste of time, teaching them to others seems like a stupid decision. Faucets take more than 1 year for you to actually earn anything substantial as well as more than that for you to actually withdraw them, so how can they even test it out? Signature campaigns on the other hand, require time but is rather easier though tbh, it's better for them to know about it themselves, as well as to know that to earn BTC, the best way would be to buy them in an online exchange.

If a newbie asks what good thing about bitcoin? anonymity?
Bitcoin user wants to teach about one the good thing about bitcoin which is anonymity but for a newbie point of view, it will also make confusion because if im the newbie why do I need to become anonymous if im not planning to do bad things.

instead, teach them the basic about bitcoin which is a payment method where they can use online or they can do a person to person transaction
This is killing the essence of what Bitcoin is though? Why would you avoid one of its features because someone can't understand it? There's nothing to avoid in introducing BTC as anonymous, and if they misunderstood, then that's their problem imo. If they asked why and how anonymity would help, then that's good, but if not, then that's that.
