Anecdotally, every single time I’ve put effort into answering someone’s question, I got shot down by mods for various reasons despite (generally) being the only answer.

Quickly stopped contributing.

Yeah, the moderation became insane. Every question is a duplicate, every answer is moderated out.

The answers on github and across the web are always much much better and more up to date. I can't remember the last time SO had the answer I wanted or needed.

I've seen python questions marked as 'duplicate' when the question was python 3 and the "answer" was python 2.
Love the duplicates that link to questions that have two answers, neither of which solves the question.
reminds me if how i havent added to wikipedia since about 2008
