SO has been doing the absolute worst things to squander their amazing lead for years
i haven't used that website since GPT came out, and now i contribute nothing to it
but i'm glad all of its content ended up training the models that put it out of business, thanks SO! you'll never be anything other than user contributions
As dour as it sounds, I am in a similar boat. Who'd have thought that not needlessly getting called names when you ask a question (even if it's dumb -as that's how you learn) makes people less likely to interact with you.
what's amusing to me is that some people even in this thread are calling it a pro, not a con. I guess our field does indeed attract a certain kind of personality.
