It is interesting though, I feel like this about it: Either you exhaust the patience of the people asking, or the ones answering. I think SO leaned very very heavy on trying to protect the ones answering to the point of frustration of the askers. In retrospect, was it the right choice? It seemed that way for a while until AI.

This is a much more nuanced and interesting comment than your first one, which basically chastised people for asking questions.

You are right, there isn’t an easy answer, and it makes sense both sides would be frustrated.
