The once-thriving site used to answer our most specific questions. But users are fleeing.

The SEO spam is terrible. It reminds me of the days of things like Experts Exchange that just hand your query back to you and pretend like it’s what you want. “Here’s the exact question you’re looking for, just pay us and you can totally see the answer, we promise!”

i think it’s been gliding on the entropy of its original value for a long time at this point (it was founded in 2009)—certainly i can’t remember a time where it was useful, but then i only first encountered it in like 2016.

I used it 2012-2014. It was fairly decent at that time.
