You must be reading a different Stack Overflow, then. SO has had
* a grand leak (or series of leaks),
* revelations about spying on users with ads,
* polarization between the company and power users/moderators,
* a radical scandal over pronouns and thought policing, with a SO top manager spewing libel against an ex-mod in an interview leading to an out-of-court settlement,
* and overall decline of quality across the board.
