That isn’t going away.. what exactly is fading away? Do you mean there are less new answers than there used to be?

This is not the case for me. I used some time on SO today and found only bad answers and gave up and started reading the source code of the examples from the library that I'm using.

I think that people stopped contributing. I stopped some time ago as the site stopped motivating me to contribute.
