		fzeindl on July 25, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Fall of Stack Overflow This issue of having the answer in the comments definitely wasn't there 5-10 years ago and makes the site much more difficult to skim and read hence provoking more hapless questions. Maybe they should expire comments or remove them alltogether.

That would remove a good percentage of correct answers. The obvious solution is to fix their weird and completely dysfunctional moderation.
