Is it really that the volume of poor questions is increasing, or that the volume of good questions is decreasing? I know I gave up on asking questions there a while ago, and I'd like to believe that the questions I did ask were fairly high-quality.
Both, I think. But the curves were somewhat different. The really good questions started trailing off quite some time ago (presumably the low-hanging fruit got picked), but the flood of crap didn't really swell until relatively recently. There are fewer good questions, but there really didn't use to be five or more instances of "How do I make one object talk to another?" every single day. That is a new development.
