Technology does change though and a decent number of questions I see on SO should have different answers now than when the official answer was accepted. Answers tapering off is true but I think is also due to it being difficult to get new, different answers to old questions.
- layer8 2y agoNew answers can be added and upvoted. Maybe there should be a mechanism for older upvotes to expire.
- boxed 2y agoThere does indeed need to be a way to make sure newer information is weighted properly. But this is quite a minor issue compared to the great mass of questions. I mean, statistically it's a minor issue. It's a big issue for certain domains like Swift where tons of the answers are comically out of date.
