For the context: on SE for 13+ years, north of 400k cumulated rep. I hate what SO became. It is true that they get heaps of junk, but a carefully crafted question from a high rep user that gets downvoted almost systematically is a problem. With me or with the massive egos of the readers. It used to be nice and friendly. Today it is not and Meta is full of inbread psychopaths. If you want to see a brain under cocaine go there. In contrast there are wonderful sites in SE at large. Cooking, Tex, Law, Travel, even Academia -- you get good, terse, sensible answers there. As an atheist I love to read the Jewish SE. The amount of effort Jews are putting into making their life a jungle is popcorn worthy (I am thinking about everything not directly related to god, but rather the innumerable rules for everyday life). And yet everyone is fine, friendly, people are not trying to downvote or close as of it was a competition. Nobody gets credit for their high rep in Cooking. People use SO for work or to show off - maybe the problem is in this dichotomy.
