Add to that weird and counterproductive rules. Can't ask questions about framework selection on programming sites. Can't ask for gear recommendations on outdoor sites. Can't ask counterfactual questions on politics site. On history sites you can only ask questions after extensive research. If an obscure subsite of Wikipedia half-answers something vaguely related, the question gets closed (or at least you get angry comments).

It's weird how SE turned itself into a site for not answering questions!
