If your team is not in position of a teamfight/enemy team was very healthy/drag is very low and your jungle have no way to steal, don't go to the dragon pit just to watch enemy take drag.

you won't get anything unless it's a teamfight
if outnumbered by enemy or enemy has good cc you and your teammate will get caught and die. 3.you lost quite a bit of cs for particularly no reason at all 4.you could have taken rift herld or towers as a trade off

I see this mistake happening a lot. It's almost sometimes not worth going for a steal as a jungler because your team might think you mean to engage and then you lose a team fight.

Well yes, it's not a sensible thing to do, but sometimes the enemy team doesn't react sensibly either.

Occasionally if they see one person coming, even if it's just the support, people disengage from the drag and start chasing you, which can effectively stop the drag or buy time for your team to actually be ready to contest it.

I don't think non-junglers should attempt to steal or actually put themselves in a position to be caught, but trying to bait them off drag could in principle be effective at lower elos.

Well he said don't waste your time by watchuing them do it. Distracting them from actually doing it is no waste of time.

But you need to be able to destract them somehow without risking yourself.

Let's all gather around mid inhib turret for the next 3 minutes instead of rotating to the other lanes,baron,drag,or literally do anything else other than stand here and not even farm the minions. Just hit em and don't take the gold
