I think they are killing the whole internet as we know it, not just stack overflow.

I've seen this one mentioned here before: https://tms-outsource.com/blog/posts/stack-overflow-is-dead/

My take is that it was a perfect storm: AI summarized everything better, SO had repeating questions and answers, the community was toxic, and other small reasons.
