Why Do People Prefer ETFs Over Individual Stocks?

Hi, if I want to invest, why do many people here prefer ETFs rather than buying big-name stocks individually?

To me, it seems that buying individual big-cap stocks offers some level of security and avoids paying the ongoing fees that come with ETFs. However, I’ve noticed that many people here strongly prefer ETFs.

As someone new to investing, I’m sure there’s a good reason for this preference, and I’d like to learn more. Why do you think ETFs are a better choice?

Thank you all
