Stack Overflow has seen a substantial decline in traffic over the last year that appears to be accelerating. https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overflow

I've had an account for almost 10 years that I use at least every other day at work, and have seen plenty of questions I CAN answer but apparently don't have the "reputation" to.

Honestly a really dumb system imo.

Nobody OWES me an answer, but if I tend not to get one, I'm not going to keep bothering with SO.

Now, the anonymous cowards who mark a question to be closed without commenting are a different story.

Man, infuriating! I had a problem that was being asked on stackoverflow but with no solution. Later, I found the solution reading some obscure parts of the docs from certain vendor. I was gonna post it there so everyone that had the same problem could find it and solve it. But I don't have enough reputation :/
