Given that Python is a an extremely popular first language, it makes sense that Python, pandas, SQL, etc. saw the largest drop and average account age went up.

Given that Python is a an extremely popular first language, it makes sense that Python, pandas, SQL, etc. saw the largest drop and average account age went up. From what I have seen on programming subreddits the threads are mostly memes rather than QA; to me the fact that they remain unaffected tells me the communities are fine. While you do need a constant funnel of new users to sustain a community, I think the end result of this will be a higher quality funnel that will eventually create an environment of people solving niche problems. All that to say that I now do a first pass through a tuned model and only go to stackoverflow as a last resort. I skip Medium search results because they are mostly people shilling their company.
