I think in some ways LLMs have shown people want simple answers to their questions when they pose it to a search engine.
Stack Overflow was good because it had answers (one chosen as right) and a little bit of discussion about why and how and other considerations.
Much of the web is verbose to an extreme to get the search engines to rank it highly. People don't want that, they just want answers.
