Depending on when you visited, you'd probably need to scroll to the bottom of the page to get the answer and/or visit the cached version of the page. Annoying, yes. Worthy of scorn? That's up for debate.
SO ate EE's lunch on the SEO front, to be sure. And I agree with Google that SO offers better experience for searchers, so I'm glad they're winning that battle.
- jaggederest 13y agoIt's worthy of scorn. There's no debate here. You're trying to bail out the tide with an apologia for a pretty universally disliked company.
- chrismcb 13y agoYou keep saying that they weren't really worthy of scorn, and yet they were fairly scorned industry wide BEFORE stackoverflow came into existed. So, yeah, obviously they did things that people disliked. I never saw a "kill EE" campaign. Yes, SO wanted to "not be EE," because everyone hated EE. I don't think a lot of people decided to hate EE because SO said to, they hated EE because of EE's practices. Did EE change their practices? Perhaps, but it was too soo, too late. And I never found out, because I blocked them as soon as I could.
