It became as annoying as experts exchange the very thing it railed against!

Nope. The main problem with expertsexchange was their SEO + paywall - they'd sneak into top Google hits by showing crawler full data, then present a paywall when actual human visits. (Have no idea why Google tolerated them btw...)

SO was never that bad, even with all their moderation policies, they had no paywalls.
