It’s been like that for all the time that I can remember (at least a decade)
Not super noteworthy
You're right. It's just bad.
For what it's worth I don't think you should have been flagged or even downvoted just for being wrong. Corrected yes, absolutely. Sinking to the bottom of low contrast lake was a bit much.
Flags being gigadownvotes on this site suuuuuucks now. How do people learn if nobody can correct them? Daft.
I used to have a vouch option but I guess I used it too much haha
