Without getting in to a rant, it appears to me (and others) that the quality of questions being asked on Stack Overflow has greatly diminished. I'm curious if there has been any attempt to take a critical look at this by quantifying the questions asked on Stack Overflow over time?
No attempt to do this would be fool proof or completely accurate, but some information -- viewed with critical eyes -- can help to evaluate not only the "if" of this question, but also the "why."
Perhaps one simple attempt to do this would be to simply construct a graph where the Y-axis was total question votes or total number of questions and the X-axis were the date on which the questions were asked?
