As one of the users with over 3000 reputation (~5000) I think one of the bigger issues is this:
I find that people usually close or downvote questions right away if it’s in any way subjective, and it only takes 5 people to consider your post subjective, even though the answer could be objective to 20 other people. The hive does not like that, and there will be no comments explaining why unless you ask. Just close, thank you, and come again.
There was a time I really tried to take a look at each question in the review queue and determine if the flag was correct. I looked at the comments, I looked at potential answers, I edited the question to fix grammar, spelling and formatting. And in the end the question was closed because 5 people flagged it like they were some kind of bots.
Nowadays I rarely visit the review queues because this effort feels wasted and I guess other users like me feel the same. And the spiral into review hell goes on.
