Why do a lot of redditors advise against buying insurance directly from insurers?

I have seen a lot of active redditors on insurance related subreddits asking people to not buy a policy directly from an insurer. I’m looking into getting a health insurance policy soon and this has me riddled honestly. When I bought coverage for my car early this year also I got very similar advice. I just want to understand if there an actual downside to buying policies directly or if this is just insurance agents on the subreddits doing their thing?
