I do like that they are focused on being a collaborative Q&A site, nothing more and nothing less. Some sites care so much about "engagement" that they try to be all things to all people and end up simply becoming yet another generic forum.

I have other issues with SO but having a USP and sticking with it isn't their problem, IMHO.

I adblock Hot Network Questions because it always distracts me when I'm looking for programming help.
I do that too! I try to block all kinds of Related/Hot/Recommended stuff on websites. Those can be more distracting than real ads if you ask me. Most useful has been to block the end card recommendations after YouTube videos.
