Otherwise, the writes of answers have no reference point, and so tend to write what they know. | |

| Jun 17, 2021 at 6:21 | comment | added | nvoigt Mod | Can you list some examples? I would agree that this silent majority is under-represented in questions, but I have no examples of actually misleading answers. Personally I always try to present options, not tell people which to take, because both "just endure it" and "just quit" are not answers. The OP might be forced to take one or the other based on external circumstances though. | |
| Jun 11, 2021 at 16:54 | comment | added | gnat | I think hot-questions contribute to this issue. Questions going to network wide sidebar inevitably attract hundreds visitors from Stack Overflow, many of them are additionally armed with association bonus allowing them upvote what they like. These folks are typically programmers, reasonably well educated and paid, enjoying high demand in the job market. Guess what kind of answers do they upvote and what perspectives they like better, guess whether they care about anything but being entertained | |
