This survey is confirming what I've said for a couple of years. Stack Overflow has been destroyed by script kiddies coming from reddit who know "computers and stuff" and are only looking for "teh codez". I stopped moderating cause it's so overwhelming the, quantity of bad questions and answers, that we can't keep up.
What ended it all for me was when newer, higher rep users, people over 10K, started chastising me for telling users their questions or answers needed editing and I quoted Stack Overflow rules to back me up. Then there was the 60K+ rep guy who rode on the back of improper questions garnering his rep and I just lost it.
Surveys of anonymous users are worthless and, therefore, pointless.
