| Feb 21, 2020 at 16:31 | comment | added | Michael come lately | @gnat I first found that essay over here and made arguments that sound a little like the premise of George Stocker's characterizations of SO Inc. I still think my logic was sound, but SO's conclusion was "Crap, if we can't increase engagement indefinitely, we can't make F.U. money," rather than subsisting on ad revenue from visitors to the best curated Q&A on the planet---where "subsisting" is 70MM/y. | |

| Feb 19, 2020 at 10:17 | comment | added | gnat | @Pekka this looks also how Clay Shirky described it long time ago (why oh why did they let him leave Board of Directors at Stack Exchange), "this story has been written many times. It's actually frustrating to see how many times it's been written. You'd hope that at some point that someone would write it down, and they often do, but what then doesn't happen is other people don't read it. The most charitable description of this repeated pattern is "learning from experience...." | |

| Feb 18, 2020 at 15:24 | comment | added | Pekka | Somebody predicted a while back that the all-new™ improved™ Stack Overflow Executive Leadership®, after having successfully fired/alienated most of the people holding the place's institutional knowledge, will, over the coming years, step by step, incredulously rediscover the things that Jeff & Co. had already discovered and built into the way the site works back in 2009. Looks like we're at step "having a Meta is in fact important even though it is really really annoying to have one" now 😄 | |

| Feb 17, 2020 at 19:51 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @Mithical [support] is generally for questions about site features. I... disagree somewhat strongly with the edits to the wiki that added the "questions where you're expecting a concrete answer" phrasing, and I see it's been rolled back and re-added... Gonna think on that some. | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 19:31 | comment | added | Mithical | @AdamLear - Why isn't [support] applicable here? The question isn't asking for a discussion; it's asking a specific question of the company and excepts a concrete answer, which would seem to fit the support tag. | |

Once those brave enough to voice criticism leave, they're free to rule as monarchs having to answer only to the Iron Bank. | |
