Salting a meat 12-24 hours before cooking it will dry out the meat

>Salting a meat 12-24 hours before cooking it will make it more juicy

Why cant people agree on this?

Who says this? People definitely make this claim when you salt something before cooking rather than after, but they're usually not talking about salting meat a day in advance. There are a lot of complex chemical reactions going on, there isn't a hard-and-fast rule that applies always regardless of time and context.

But I've never heard anyone say that salting meat the day before will dry it out. Usually people who advocate for seasoning after the meat is cooked are thinking of something totally different.

Fuck off samefag, nobody likes your shitty forced autist.

Salting a steak like a half hour before cooking definitely draws out some moisture. That's not debatable as you can actually see it. I don't really know what it does to the meat, but I know that much.
