The only thing I noticed on SO is sometimes having question titled in a more general way, with details being actually focused on a specific new framework, then discussion and answer showing how amazing the framework is for this use case. Which is also the only thing I can reasonably imagine being promoted, but incentives here are so closely aligned I can't even be mad honestly.
I don't know what happens on 'front page'/'trending' of SO and other other stackexchanges.
EDIT: I checked stats and SO has <15mln users. Part of it being the way it is comes from being relatively tiny and I honestly can't guess how expensive moderation on SO is.
