This is slightly off topic, but still related to SO, Reddit, or whatever community out there that is being used for getting any kind of help:
Most people doesn't know what they are trying to solve or achieve. And/or they don't know how to phrase themselves correctly.
Look at /r/Unity3D, which I frequently visit, and you can see _tons_ of duplicate questions, with different wording, because the OP doesn't know what to search for to find the solution to the problem at hand.
I see the same thing in SO as well, which is why I have also disregarded that for problem-solving information. I'm back to finding out stuff the hard way; reading the documentation and use my 30-year old programming knowledge to sort it out.
Sometimes I share my knowledge on f.ex. /r/Unity3D, but often gets downvoted because it's illegal to use _anything_ that GCs in a simple ping pong game. So you need to use difficult to use data structures instead.
