Don't visit Stack Overflow

What's wrong with Stack Overflow? Genuinely curious.

I interpreted that statement as asking a question on Stack Overflow (as opposed to just searching for existing content on SO) is openly hostile to new users. Some may consider "Hostile" an extreme take, but I'd be shocked if anyone on Hacker News felt that Stack Overflow was in anyway welcoming to new users.

That's fair, I just thought we were talking about UX here.

They don't badger you to install an app, do they?

I am not a fan of the changes being made and I’ve been using Reddit less and less for casual browsing as a result. However, I do the opposite when I’m looking for an answer to something specific. I find myself using “site:reddit.com” all the time when doing Google searches since the resulting discussions often have way more context, alternate suggestions, etc. than almost any other site I’ve found.
