Usage of global variables is bad practice, they make your codebase a mess. Additionally, they pollute the global namespace and increase the risk for a name collision. Although negligible, local variables are only ever so slightly faster for each access than global variables.
And for those people who use global variables, their code isn't very great. It is recommended that you always use local variables.

This is a very common question. Also most people do not use global variables. Often people see youtube videos and just copy badly made tutoirals without any research
