I'm surprised you are not a fan of geeksforgeeks. While each of their webpages have substantially less content than the pytorch docs or SO result, I find that they get to the point instantly. My mean time to solution from G4G is definitely smaller than SO.

I guess everyone has their go-to sites and their pet peeves. Geeksforgeeks may be less spammy than some, but I still think of it as that annoying site that got in the way of either the SO or documentation answer that I was looking for.

Just to expand, if I want the api reference, say I search for defaultdict (for some reason I like using them but always have to look at the reference), I want the python documentation. I definitely don't want a third party telling me about it.

And if I search a "make list of tensor into tensor" type question, I want SO where someone had asked the same question and got "tensor.stack" as the reply, so I can understand the answer and follow up by looking at the tensor.stack pytorch reference it I want.

Anything else is wasting my time, I think most users with similarly specific queries are not looking for tutorials, they are looking for the names of functions they hypothesize exist, or references. That's why intermediary sites that try to give an explanation are annoying, at least for me.

I generally find that sites like SO, GFG, etc. often play the role of "Reading the Docs as a Service". I prefer using them only after official documentation or specifications fail me. When I want an opinionated answer, I just ping some people I already know or check the personal websites of the developers of the language/tool I'm using. If I have further questions, I check the relevant IRC channel. Sites like SO are a "last resort" for me.

In other words, I'd rather see these at the bottom of the SERP than the top, but I wouldn't want to completely eliminate them.

I've found that their content is often inaccurate or written by people who come across as novices. I actually emailed them to correct an inaccuracy in one of their articles once, which they did, so kudos to them for that.

Geeksforgeeks is toxic garbage poisoning the well of good solutions for common problems.
