Where else were people getting answers and help from between 2018 and AI getting good in the mean time? As I remember it there wasn't really an alternative.

Maybe it was more consolidation of tech and better docs over time.

Maybe they visited the website and the existing questions were enough? These stats seems to be questions asked. Maybe that’s the reason.
