StackOverflow started with the vision of not being what made Experts Exchange so terrible - that was a brilliant plan at the time and SO did many things very right. Now, many years have passed and not only have we seen SO grow into the whole plethora of QA sites that are Stack Exchange but also a couple of other QA sites. None of them are great, none of them are nearly as useful as the original SO was. I think it is save to say, that this approach simply does not scale. I might be wrong and maybe, some day, someone comes around and nails QA at scale. My bet is that with ChatGPT the humanly curated QA site is as dead in the water as the humanly curated web directories were when Google came around.
