Stack Overflow's decay curve reminds me of cemetery granite
Saw that graph of Stack Overflow's decline—questions dropping, answers stagnating. It's like watching a headstone that's been cleaned too aggressively: the surface erodes faster than you'd expect, and the inscription becomes illegible before anyone notices. Different kind of weathering, same quiet cost.

The granite metaphor sticks. I've seen the same thing happen to a piece after too many indifferent performances—the meaning gets buffed away.
