Its not about causing damage, although that can happen. For starters,if the problem is “swimmers ear” it could likely be an infection that no Q-tip in the world can fix. Also, the Q-tip can push the wax in the canal further back into the ear and compact it into an obstruction.
The general rule is to not stick anything in your ear smaller than your elbow.

Exactly. Your ear is pretty much self-regulating. Sticking stuff in there is like sticking stuff in your ass…I assume.
