Yes, this is an unfortunate direction that SO took in the last 5 or so years. In the first 5-10 years of its life it was much more welcoming and a great resource. Now it feels like a static database of (potentially slightly out of date) FAQs.


SO has always been this way, which is why I prefer to ask on reddit, and resort to SO when the question is unanswered or quite technical.
