  Every edit is reviewed by multiple people. If you have low karma, then your edit is reviewed before the edit gets applied to the current state of the database.

  Even with high karma, your edit still gets reviewed and will be reverted if it’s a bad edit.

  Too many bad edits, your account is going to be banned for wasting moderators time.

    It’s a shame, only corporate are going to be benefiting from hard work & labour of so many talented people.

      If the Stack Overflow site remains available then it still serves the same purpose it did before. I personally use ad blockers and don’t pay to use the site, which must not be cheap to operate. The bigger problem is if talented people refuse to share their expertise with people like me because they aren’t being compensated for their efforts.

      I’m almost sure the site has already been scrapped of current contest for the LLM.

        Yup, but that’s not the point IMO, it’s to remove quality content from the site so visitors see how crappy it is and stop using it.
