MODERATORS
It's funny how Stack Overflow was created because forums were shit for programming discussion, and because Q&A was dominated, sold, and locked down by Experts-Exchange.
Now, pretty much the second the final founder bailed (and jumped on the AI train) SO starts enshittifying its product...
Enshittification had started in preparation of the sale years ago. Now with AI the platform has become worthless and their entire data set has been included in countless training sets. They are grasping for straws. Their active users decrease, as more and more contributors realize that they are volunteering their time to make others rich.
You could easily view the answers on expert sex change by bringing up the debugger, but it was never even worth it as the answers on stack overflow were better.
