Who is stack overflow for in 2022?
If you're a noob who's learning, then your question will be downvoted to hell and u will be blocked as question is deemed low quality..
If you're a pro, then your question will be about something obscure which the mods don't understand, and also will require a more nuanced answer, so it will be downvoted to hell and u will be blocked.
So it's aimed at mid-level devs to ask things with certain answers, the kind of answer which would most likely be found in documentation. So the people who require help/answers the most are kicked off, whereas people who need answers/help the least are encouraged.

- jaredsohn 4y agoI rarely ask questions on StackOverflow but find it useful if I don't remember syntax or to understand what kinds of solutions people have come up with for problems. I've seen reports that most people on Hacker News never or rarely comment themselves and I think StackOverflow works well for that common use case.
