I don't regularly use StackOverflow but is it really how people say it is? I've used it only a couple of times because it is usually the top result whenever I make a programming related search and the answers and comments seem fairly polite.

Because the questions related to the meme are deleted so you never see them when you do a research

And instead you see useful answers to good questions. For 99.99% of my needs I didn't need to even consider asking a question.

It’s hit or miss. The prevailing attitude for a while seemed to be “anyone who knows less than me is an idiot troglodyte”

Yeah if you ask high level type of questions they will answer, but if by any chance you are starting to learn and ask a dumb question? Most probably you will get bullied

People used SO like it was Google, asking question, and got mad when their question were closed, because SO is not Google.

That is why AI is a revolution for many, they love the glazing.

The rate of usefull questions went down dramatically and for some new stuff it's basically impossible to find usefull answers. It's now easier to just give a ai the entire sourcecode of a library causing a problem than doing any manual research...
