Showerthought: I think the 'ask anything' rule has gotten way too loose here lately

A year ago, most posts were actual questions you could answer, but now half the feed is just people sharing random stories with a question mark tacked on. Saw a post yesterday that was just a 300-word rant about traffic, ending with 'thoughts?'. What changed that made this okay? How do we get back to real questions?

Is it the rule that got loose, or did we all just get lazy? I'm totally guilty of this too, my last post was basically a long story that ended with "right?" Feels like we started letting the question be an afterthought instead of the main point. Maybe we just need to catch ourselves before hitting post and ask if we're actually looking for an answer or just want to vent.

Remember when the whole point was to get a straight answer. Now it feels like people just want an audience for their stories. Hard to find the real questions in all that noise.
