I've seen many examples of that, websites trying to "distill" and regurgitate the knowledge from Stackoverflow, and it's worse than useless ... it's always outdated, you're missing the context, you get a ton of annoying ads (people running those 'platforms' need to make money somehow), it's polluting my Google search results ... waste of time.

Websites trying to aggregate or 'improve' info which they've sourced from authoritative sources only make things worse.

I've come across those websites, pointless and an utter waste of time.
