closed as duplicate killed the site. it's important to not have duplicates, but editors got trigger happy with it, so questions that were similar but different were getting closed. even questions that mention the similar one in the question as being similar but distinct get closed. a duplicate question 6 years later where libraries and patterns have been deprecated is closed as a dupe, even though the answer isn't relevant.
anyway, that's one issue, among others, that make the site ossified.
