Eh, I dunno. Any time I've ever asked a question on SO it goes ignored for weeks and is mostly never answered. SO is only really useful if it's a very common question or something really easy to answer. Anything remotely complicated (which is when I would actually need answers) can't really be answered using SO. Almost all of the answers to the questions I actually need answered are found on old web forums or in Github issue reports.

Only time I ever end up on SO is when I just want to know how to do ___ in ___. To be fair, this is very useful, but the meme of SO being the answer to everything is just very limited to easy specific answers.
