StackOverflow kills itself

Some time ago I really needed to clarify one thing about how JVM (DVM) work on Android.
That's what made me ask my first question on stackoverflow.

Though I got satisfactory answer, I was left with mixed impression about this website.

I asked more questions, and most responses I got look like "why do you even use X, use Y instead" or "your idea is wrong, therefore you shouldn't do thing you ask how to do".

My questions also tend to be closed before even answered.

Though it is clear that I asked them because there's no exhaustive answer yet.

People give me their opinions and read morality lectures instead of giving technical details and answering question I asked.

I know they might think of themselves as smartest MFs in whole internet, but it doesn't help to find technical solution I need.

Though I advocate against use of LLMs (they do mistakes too often), I can't unsee how and why stackoverflow loses it's advantages.

LLM won't question your question, it will, at least, try to respond.
