The problem is that we have roshei Yeshiva who never were mishamesh talmidei chachamim properly and therefore don’t have a proper Daas Torah. So they grab chumros or assume tha tthe amcha is on the level to turn prishus and tahara into issurim, not realizing the damage caused by their lack of havana. Some of them just get lied to by the askanim or their gabbaim, unaware of what their words are being used for. This is why one needs a rav or rebbe on is close to. Pashkevilin, pasquinades and blog posts are no substitute for an actual rebbe.
