where people who are already well established in the respective community are able to boost correct answers even more than with a single vote.
This assumes people who are competent are always right. StackOverflow fosters idiocy and ignorance. They even hide comments to the question which often start with “I have no idea why this is the top answer” and continue with a list of reasons why it’s not a good idea to just utilise the solution. They often get a lot of upvotes but ultimately are ignored because their font size is smaller and they don’t have a green arrow with 450 updoots next to them.
Do we really want to continue supporting mindless copy&paste based programming?
