Question about that chain lube trick my neighbor swore by

My neighbor Dave told me to use WD-40 on my bike chain. Said he'd done it for years. I tried it for two weeks. Chain got super sticky and picked up dirt like crazy. Had to deep clean the whole drivetrain. Anyone else get burned by bad lube advice?

Isn't it funny how often outdated advice gets passed around as gospel?

Ugh, tell me about it. My grandma still insists you have to wash chicken with soap.
