For an eye-opening read, check out the comments on Reddit. Amusingly enough, someone chose the title of this post as [Why Stack Overflow sucks][1]. My favourite from one [relix][2]:

> I've answered exactly [1 question][3].
> It was the only correct answer to that
> question, but it didn't get any votes
> and didn't get selected as the answer.
> Instead, the wrong answer was selected
> and got all the brownie points.
>
> That was the moment I decided never to
> waste time on Stack Overflow again. Why
> even bother.
