| Nov 30, 2018 at 15:54 | comment | added | vzn | interesting ideas and nice work with data explorer. however the phrasing on this question is a bit awkward. SE network has over 100 sites now. physics is only one. there would be some expectation of similarities/ differences. newer sites probably go through different phases. sites do tend to mature and one gets more duplicates. also the maturation of wikipedia has been studied extensively and yes do believe SE has some similarities as far as "levelling off" in some key ways. how much new content is constructed? it probably declines gradually. long term sustainability is a key metric to track. | |

| Nov 30, 2018 at 6:13 | comment | added | user400188 | Keep in mind that extremely old answers are deleted from SE. Most people never notice this unless they are long time users who see their reputation strangely go down. I think that @JohnRennie has experienced this. | |
| Nov 29, 2018 at 12:26 | comment | added | OrangeDog | The ultimate goal of any SE is to be a complete, open, reference resource on a particular subject. Answering questions asked by other people is just a means to that end. Running out of new questions is a good thing. | |

| Nov 25, 2018 at 15:35 | comment | added | fishinear | It would be good to see a graph of number of questions that have multiple duplicates. The trend I see, is that questions get asked and answered before they are marked as duplicate, especially simple questions with easy answers. That is, your worries do not seem to be valid. I see more a worry that we get a lot of different answers to same question, all slightly different and a large percentage of them plane wrong. | |
