Are you saying that the decline of SO can be explained by that and not AI? I don't buy it.

I don't buy it.
- baq 3mo agoPeople were willing to put up with SO in the before times, nobody was excited to ask a question, it was a dreadful experience. It was their UX that doomed them immediately. Reddit and HN are still here after all.
- inigyou 3mo agoReddit is full of bots instead of actual humans. Arguably, so is HN.
- baq 3mo agoSO doesn’t even have bots.
- frollogaston 3mo agoReddit was full of fake users even day 1, they admitted to bootstrapping the website that way.
- unreal37 3mo agoHow eager people are to find something better IS a factor in the decline of websites/businesses. Not just that there is something better that exists.
- palata 3mo agoI personally left SO because I felt moderation had become toxic, and that was before AI. And I was relatively active, like in the top 5%.
- Jolter 3mo agoSee the decline of the graph even before the spring of ’22?
