    SO was in decline anyway. Most answers you’ll find are several years old and outdated, because some idiot thought the new ones are duplicates.

    There’s been a new thing (for the past two years anyways) where some power tripping user would edit the highest rated answer, causing new users to fail to get recognition.

    So a new user answers a old question with the latest way to do something based on new language specs… And they’d get 1-2 votes.

    Why even contribute then?

      To help others? That’s why I did it. Someone editing that into the highest upvoted answer is good because more people will see it.

      Unless you care about karma, how is this bad?
