There is some very deep knowledge in SO's comments and some lower rated replies. But I suspect that is not what was making Stackoverflow so popular.
I suspect the new Stack Overflow is Discord channels, at least for some platforms/frameworks. Too bad the free-form non-threaded discussion format of Discord makes things so hard to follow.
If a company uses discord for support, then I am not using their product, unless it is a computer game. It is that simple.
