StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month. The end of an era

I also want to thank the original SO founders Joel and Jeff, not just for creating a good Q&A site but for keeping it free and giving data dumps too. Even though AI and Google both killed the site, know this: SO was the OG for many IT folks, and they ran it with a certain ethical balance.
@nixCraft we should add/request the collaboration of an AI bot on SO.
![A pair of Short-eared Owls are side by side, wrapped in white fabric: one a towel, the other a pillowcase. If the owls were to have names, then Toil [left] looks ready to rumble with an insurmountable fury dwelling within her eyes, whereas Trouble [right] looks far more subdued, and is either very complacent with the situation, or more likely, has not enough energy to tussle. Some days of R 'n R 'n R (rehabilitation being the third R) will surely give him the pep he needs. Both Pueo possess facial feathers the colour, shape, and texture of a Three-toed Sloth, but biologists have yet to draw a direct connection between the taxa. A quarter of hands holding the owl shawarmas up for camera are gloved, which incidentally, excluding thumbs, is the same fraction of non-gloved fingers that are banded with jewellery, which makes this sentence both an odd one to parse, and contain an even number of words and letters.](https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/117/529/215/561/546/274/original/efec1e9106f9e33a.jpg)
