Maybe, just maybe, most of the big questions have been asked and answered already.
These days when I look something up it's been answered like 8 years ago, and the answer is still valid. And they aggressively mark questions as dupes, so people aren't opening too many repeat questions.
I mean there's always gonna be new libraries or frameworks or whatever that will have their own questions to be asked. I think the problem is at a certain point you've reached the maximum audience you can appeal to. Which I feel StackOverflow very much has but of course corporations have to keep making greater and greater profits so once you maximize audience you have to find other methods for profit. Which is what leads to rebrand stuff like this.
