    What made me stop is

    1. they allowed AI answers. Full stop, I don’t want AI regurgitating AI.

    2. They did nothing to improve the community except repeatedly say they’ll improve the community

    3. The barrier to entry is still way too high. You can’t post/comment without rep, but you can’t get rep without post/commenting. So people joining struggle to even say hello.

    As a engineer who was a power user on StackOverflow, I hate that we are losing a major community that helps coders, beginners or advance, ask questions.

      They don’t allow AI answers though?

      Other than that, yeah I agree. They needed to switch to curating their content and helping their community and they didn’t.

      It’s terrible, I will literally see an answer that is telling me to do something that is straight up not an option or a function available to me. So obvious when people use ai generated answers.

      Kind of what happens when you build community, then try to scale for profit.
