Stack overflow is still useful z it's just that the vast majority of answers are like 15-20 years old as most questions were already answered by then

The headline is a lie. Developers will be fine. One company will lose users. And rightly so.
They don't allow me to create an account because email restriction, VPN/IP restriction...
If they don't want content, that's their choice
Yeah, this is a problem with every single platform that becomes successful.
Eh, some manage to go around. Steam doesn't push this BS (but yea I guess they force you to pay an amount)
Proton mail also doesn't really go out of their way to check you... and Reddit is somewhat okay from what I remember
Every time I go to SO I have to deal with CloudFlare checks or captchas. I'm not genuinely not sure why, but it has kept me from clicking SO links from search engines first. Not even using a VPN. Kind of odd.
I’m sure they have all the heuristics in Cloudflare cranked up due to all programming model training aggressively digesting their content. Can’t blame them, honestly.
Wow amazing stuff

Ha. I remember I used my points to create a bounty for something I kind of saw as broken with Windows but that eventually expired or something and after that, never looked back. Whole thing doesn't make sense. Why make a bounty possible if it can just expire. Nobody answered the question... and I couldn't accrue points to do it again in a reasonable manner so go figure...
Sure is bullshit. I now and then could have answered a question i am an expert in. But i never had an account and wouldn't have had the points to do it, because "popular question" and whatnot.
they're gonna rebrand to ai first or turn it into an experts-exchange aren't they?
It does feel like they're going that way. But that's okay. Everyone needs an Expert Sex Change every now and then.
