It's not there so you don't have to do some more work to get to an answer.\n\nFrom that answer, if you're still having issues, you form a question around:\n\n\"I found this answer on [SO](link), which lead me in this direction and found these [documents](link), however I am still having issues with getting the thing to work correctly when i run this bit of code, ```code```, from the output it says it's doing this or that, but when i check something, i find that it's not doing what it claims in the outputs. What might I have missed?\"\n\nAnd even then, that's still a fairly shaky question.\n\nMost people don't know how to write questions, which is most of what this whole comment section is complaining about."

Too many double negatives.\n\nZahlman was claiming above that the \"duplicate\" question linked earlier in the thread wasn't a useful question. Its not useful because if you read the accepted answer in the original thread, you can figure it out easily.\n\nProve it then. Figure it out easily for us.\n\nI think the point of SO is for people to look up the answers to questions they have. If people have similar but distinct questions with different answers, it seems objectively better to surface both SO threads. Ideally they'd be linked together so if I accidentally stumble on the wrong question, there's a link to the question I'm actually interested in.\n\n> \"I found this answer on [SO](link)\n\nWhy bother with all of that? I mean, it sounds like all those extra words are all to grovel sufficiently to the SO moderator-gods, hoping in their capricious anger they won't mark your question as a duplicate and wipe it from the internet. Grovelling doesn't help the question asker or the question answerer.\n\nAs a user, my problem with SO isn't that people ask bad questions. Its usually that the question I actually have - if its been asked - has long ago been deleted as a duplicate. And the only question remaining on the site is subtly different from the problem I'm actually facing. Or the answer is tragically out of date. Perhaps if people asked better questions, the moderators would be happier. But the site shouldn't be run purely for the benefit of its moderators.\n\nIt became a meme. \"How do I do X in javascript?\" \"Here's how you do it using jQuery.\" \"But I'm not using jquery.\" \"Question closed!\""

"text": "> Zahlman was claiming above that the \"duplicate\" question linked earlier in the thread wasn't a useful question. Its not useful because if you read the accepted answer in the original thread, you can figure it out easily.\n\nNo, I was not . Duplicate questions are often very useful.\n\nThey just... shouldn't host separate answers in a separate place, because that leads to a) duplicated answering effort and b) dilution of results for third parties who search for the information later.\n\nHaving a question like this linked as a duplicate highlights the fact that the same fundamental problem can be conceived of in different ways, and appear different due to ancillary requirements.\n\n> If people have similar but distinct questions with different answers, it seems objectively better to surface both SO threads. Ideally they'd be linked together\n\nBut we aren't talking about different answers. A bit of adaption to ancillary details is expected. Otherwise there would be no duplicate questions, and also no reason to ever try to have Stack Overflow in the first place, because asking on a forum would be fine. Searching the Internet to figure out how to fix your code could never work and never help, because obviously nobody else has ever written your code before.\n\nBut problem-solving doesn't actually work that way.\n\nClosing duplicate questions as duplicates is linking them together.\n\n> Why bother with all of that? I mean, it sounds like all those extra words are all to grovel sufficiently to the SO moderator-gods\n\nThis is because you are still approaching the site with the mindset of \"what do I have to do to get these other people to give me the information I want?\"\n\nBut it's not (just) about you . A good question will be seen by many other people.\n\n> Its usually that the question I actually have - if its been asked - has long ago been deleted as a duplicate.\n\nDuplicates are not automatically deleted and not ordinarily manually deleted.\n\n> And the only question remaining on the site is subtly different from the problem I'm actually facing.\n\nWould reading the answers give you the information need to solve the problem, after first putting in the expected effort to isolate a single problem? If not, why not? That's what we care about.\n\n> Or the answer is tragically out of date.\n\nMy experience has been that old answers are not actually \"out of date\" nearly as often as people would expect. But when they are, this is fixed by putting a new answer on the existing question . The bounty system was created largely for this reason. It has proven a failure, for a variety of reasons, but that's a failure of understanding gamification, not a problem with the model.\n\n> Perhaps if people asked better questions, the moderators would be happier. But the site shouldn't be run purely for the benefit of its moderators.\n\nIt's frankly infuriating to read things like this. I have already said so many times that the overwhelming majority of the people objected to are not moderators , but people insist on using that language, not making any effort to understand the existing community, and then wondering why they feel unwelcome. More importantly, though, we are going out of our way to try to build something that benefits everyone . While most people asking questions are thinking only of themselves."

"text": "Top-level view:\n\nfrom the perspective of people who aren't explicitly trying to teach on their own initiative, overall the site has outlived its purpose. In that time it drew way too many total questions to surface what's actually valuable; between that and no functional search (the internal search was always bad; Google et. al. got worse over time, partly intentionally) you're lucky to find anything valuable.\n\nI'm not generally worried about out-of-date answers; the truly outdated answers are mostly on outdated questions , describing situations that don't come up any more or premises that are no longer valid for ordinary programmers (e.g., fixing problems with obsolete tools).\n\nCombing through to curate properly is too little, too late now. Much stronger (but polite, of course) gatekeeping was required earlier on, which in turn required (among other things) proper means for communication between \"core\" users and the public. At this point, it's best to start over (hence the part where I'm now a moderator at Codidact).\n\nThere's a lot more I want to say, but I don't have it organized in my head and this is way downthread already.

Having answers worded in a variety of ways allowed for greater odds that the user would find a question written the way he had worded his search.\n\nRedirecting users to an older answer also just added pointless friction compared to allowing for the answer from the original question to be reposted on the duplicate question, in the exceedingly rare instances\n\nI understand the motive behind wanting to exclude questions that are effectively just: “Do my work for me.” The issue is you have users actively telling you that the culling process didn’t really work the way it was supposed to, and you keep telling them that they are wrong, and that the site actually works well for its intended purpose—even though its intended purpose was to help users find what they were looking for, and they are telling you that they can’t.\n\nPart of StackOverflow’s decline was inevitable and wouldn’t have been helped by any changes the site administrators could have made; a machine can simply answer questions a lot faster than a collection of human volunteers. But there is a reason people were so eager to leave. So now instead of conforming to what users repeatedly told the administrators that they wanted, StackOverflow can conform to being the repository of questions that the administrators wanted, just without any users or revenue besides selling the contributions made by others to the LLMs that users have demonstrated they actually want to use."

The factors behind this are social (askers interpret close votes as signals that they should give up), cultural (there's not much training/feedback/guidelines about what \"duplicate\" means for those with voting privileges), and technical (there's no first-class feature for askers to contest closure, and it takes just as many votes to reopen a question as it does to close it (with the same voter reputation requirement))."

"text": "> and technical (there's no first-class feature for askers to contest closure\n\nIt's not quite that bad: when the OP edits the question, there is a checkbox to assert that the edit resolves the reason for closure. Checking it off puts the question in a queue for reconsideration.\n\nHowever, there's the social problem (with possibly a technical solution) that the queue is not as discoverable as it ought to be, and provides no real incentive; the queues generally are useful for curators who work well in a mode of \"let's clean up problems of type X with site content today\", but not for those (like myself) who work well in a mode of e.g. \"let's polish the canonical for problem Y and try to search for and link unrecognized duplicates\".\n\nGiven the imbalance in attention, I agree that reopening a question should have lesser requirements than closing it. But better yet would be if the questions that don't merit reopening, weren't opened in the first place. Then the emphasis could be on getting them into shape for the initial opening . I think that's a useful frame shift: it's not that the question was rejected; rather, publishing a question basically always requires a collaborative effort.\n\nThe Staging Ground was a huge step forward in this direction, but it didn't get nearly the attention or appreciation (or fine-tuning) it deserved."
