So 10k per day is a more reasonable number of new questions. The Front page however, goes back to just over 3 hours, and has about 125 questions or so (hard to count manually). As a Newer Programmer, I could never even hope to answer any questions on 80% of the tags on SO, and perusing thousands of questions to find them is scary. At least here, My hobbies of watching Science Videos on YouTube mean that I could possibly provide valuable input on almost any tag. | |

Exposure is important, but there is no point if there are no users who can answer the question. WB has 11.5 and 6 times more users than Mythology and HSM Respectively. A week on those smaller sites is a fraction of the exposure a day is on WB, and im not even starting on expertise and general interest, which WB has a significant advantage. Maybe i Should add that to the answer, It does seem to be unclear, and I am known for forgetting side facts because I forget people are not in my head. | |
