Why does switching doors in the Monty Hall Problem increase odds: 2 doors, 50-50

Question

I have read through around 10 articles and webpages on this problem, and still don’t understand. I’ve run simulations and yes, switching does get you better odds, but why?

Answer 1

Okay so the essence of switching and staying is that switching gives you the opposite of what’s behind the door you picked, and staying gets you what’s behind the door. Since 2/3 options are goats then you should always switch because switching essentially makes 2/3 options cars.
