The absolute worst experience is when the top link on Google is on a Closed&#x2F;Duplicate&#x2F;Invalid Stack Overflow, where the answers and comments are all on how the question is bad- especially when the question is almost verbatim to the search.<p>The problem with SO is that there isn&#x27;t an alternative with a user base large enough to get that critical mass of answers. That means that there are no real alternatives to the very well defined limitations of Stack Overflow.<p>Without an alternative, it puts contributors in an adversarial position against askers- trying to close as many questions as possible to try and keep the mission statement alive.
