Sure. That's a little like saying you use Wikipedia regularly. I have ~10k rep on Stack Overflow from >200 answers, but I'm still a small fry compared to the volunteer moderators and the true power users. There are people who spend an insane number of hours closing or editing basic "How do I do this" questions that would otherwise overwhelm the site (whether or not you agree with the standard these users set for the site is a separate discussion). When Monica got removed, the people who had made SO a significant part of their identity were understandably upset (the fact that she managed to raise >$25k to sue SO for defamation[0] should show just how upset). Why should anyone try to make the site better when SO was insulting its most helpful users and self-sabotaging? I dramatically cut down on my time spent learning by answering questions. It's certainly a minority that did so, but I think it's a formerly-prolific minority. [0]: https://www.theregister.com/2020/01/02/stack_overflow_settle... |
