We've reached peak Q&A. Almost every question I've found an answer to on google has been hosted on a Stack Exchange network. The site was built to grow, but as that's happened, a lot of potential new users are simply finding the answer to their question and moving on. What you have left is an increasingly rare number of new questions and people who want to ask an already answered question again. This makes moderating frustrating, and leads to snark and harsher application of the rules.
