Part of the problem might have been that Stack Overflow has been busy shooting themselves in both feet for years.

For a while (maybe around 2012 - 2017) or something it felt like it was almost the rule that if you found a really useful question on Stack Overflow it would always be marked as llw quality.

Eventually I guess they were pruned and that might explain a bit of why they rose.

They annoyed mee too though as they often mixed together unrelated questions on the same page and get hits for very specific queries that are unrelated.
