Comment on Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 6 months agoSO was in decline anyway. Most answers you’ll find are several years old and outdated, because some idiot thought the new ones are duplicates.
There’s been a new thing (for the past two years anyways) where some power tripping user would edit the highest rated answer, causing new users to fail to get recognition.
So a new user answers a old question with the latest way to do something based on new language specs… And they’d get 1-2 votes.
Why even contribute then?

To help others? That’s why I did it. Someone editing that into the highest upvoted answer is good because more people will see it.
Unless you care about karma, how is this bad?
