Stack Overflow is an interesting case because these days most people ask questions on Discord instead. The data isn't public, and the search functionality is terrible. It makes no sense, but somehow companies still prefer it even though it's inefficient and the same questions keep getting asked over and over.

This is a feature not a bug. The people asking those questions are new blood and accepting and integrating them is how you sustain your community.

Looks like at least Discord is recently decided to finally fix the issues caused by having users & are trying very hard to not have any going forward through insane identity verification mandates enforced by the most toxic partner companies ever. :)

More user engagement, users spend more time on the platform. These companies don't have the best interest of users in mind.
