I still use SO as much as I ever did, but I rarely/never ask/answer/comment because it’s very often already answered. The answer to my question is often 10 years old. So my activity these days makes less traffic (I don’t need to visit to reply to a comment etc) but it’s still useful. Another reason I rarely ask is of course as others have pointed out: the amount of pedantry is around 10x the amount needed to keep the quality of the site high, and often enough to make the quality worse. Often these days I ask a question, and get attacked despite it not being a dupe or off topic or low quality (I’m a top 1% account as I assume many of us are so I know my way around). Then a perfect answer comes and I can’t accept it because it’s already jumped on by mods. Somehow a useful exchange with a reasonable question and accepted answer has been completely drowned by mods. It’s infuriating.
