if it was actually a duplicate, that would be perfect but it seems the majority of the time, its just a question similar and in some cases I’ve even seen them link a question that if you knew anything about it, wouldn’t have been even remotely related.

Never understood the issue with “closed as duplicate”, it always links to the original question so you get your answer there. And for most things even the duplicate has a solid accepted answer too. Maybe I visit a different part of the site through my questions?

In my experience the question is either not actually a duplicate or the answer is no longer valid.

What turned me off of SO entirely is when you actually do google it and the results are all SO posts with “closed as duplicate” and no actual answers :(
The snake fully ate itself.
