I mostly agree with this. Basically, you got what you deserve by playing a marginal hand preflop. Btw, raising preflop with this hand at a full ring game is very incorrect because you're dependent on hitting a nutty flop like this. So don't listen to THAT advice.
A few questions:
How may you have played this hand differently had you (taken other's advice and) raised preflop?
How may you have played this hand differently if this wasn't a kill pot?
How frequently do you put in the 2nd bet post flop, and specifically, what are those situations in which you WOULD?
My thoughts:
Clearly, hindsight is 20/20, but raise the flop. Charge those draws. Make it MORE expensive for people to catch running low cards. tbh, if I had an A278 type hand that ends up rivering a straight, I'm NOT putting 2 bets in preflop that many ways and then folding to ONE bet post flop. I am almost assuredly folding for 2 bets though.
Ideally, you take control of the betting by raising flop and the LJ, HJ, and Button fold to 2 bets rather than already having 1 bet in and then calling 1 more bet post flop. THAT WAY, you have position on the river and can make a check in position and lose less rather than put in a $24 crying call on the end.
