StackExchange sites feel like sites that you can browse without them trying to get you addicted and trying to stop you leaving. They do have the sidebar which sometimes shows interesting content but it doesn’t feel optimised for addiction or stickiness - more genuine discovery. I’m not sure what sort of advertising they do on other stack exchange sites if any, but sticking to a job board on SO makes it so much more pleasant to read than a social feed throwing random junk products at you every few minutes until you go away.
