I'm a 2k user and I've never asked a question. I find that the greatest benefit to my learning has been trying to answer someone else's question. That being said, I'd say on average there are 2 "async loop" questions on the "newest javascript questions", both of which tend to get an answer by a newbie and still get marked as a dupe. Just because it gets closed, doesn't mean you can't work on answering it. The research will benefit you whether or not you get the validation from answering it. However, I do understand that it's hard to know if it's the right answer without the feedback of an upvote or two.
