so my rep on SO is about 41K with an average rep per answer a little shy of 100 and about every third answer is the accepted answer. My numbers on Cross Validated (the SO for "data scientists") are significantly better. but i've given up trying to ask a question on any of the SO Sites. As far as i can tell, most questions on SO et al are closed for violating one of two boundary conditions. At one end: don't ask a question whose answer is subjective. And at the other end: don't ask a question that can be answered directly from the docs (or google). when you look over a few dozen or more questions closed on these grounds, it's clear to me that this window--the space between these two boundaries that represents an acceptable question is very very small. It's so small that the last couple of questions i've posted i've missed--aimed either too high or too low.
