It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Cleaning a chain every time it gets wet is kinda impractical isn't it? That would be pretty much a daily task.
Again, every chain, no matter the lube should be cleaned after a wet ride.
Whether you choose to ignore that or not, totally depends on your goals.
I use wipperman links, which allows me to remove my chain without tools. So it's quite literally a 10-second swap, and only if the chain is too "dirty" (again, it really doesn't get dirt when it's waxed) to cleaned with a cloth.
For context, I my first winter ate through chains, and all of my components were rusted by the spring no matter how obsessive I was about keeping things clean.
This year, not a single bit of rust. No chain wear at all over thousands of KM. No wasted rags or solvents. And very little of my time went to chain maintenance.
When I waxed my chain the first time, the experience was so positive, I immediately switched two other bikes over to waxed chains that same week.
I ride a lot (min 500km a month over the winter), so if you are an occasional cyclist, then it may not be as profound of an experience.
Looking into the stuff needed for it, what product names should I look for? Almost everything is a liquid you put on the chain rather than a heat melted was which in comparison barely seems to exist.
