| Feb 20, 2025 at 14:26 | comment | added | tenfour | @ColleenV all very fair points. I am still personally not interested in the answer because I am extremely skeptical that it would be sincere... though that applies to the entire AMA so I remove my downvote | |
| Feb 20, 2025 at 14:16 | comment | added | ColleenV | @tenfour I think that you're making an assumption about what the answer to this question would be if they chose to answer it, and how much time it would take away from other questions. You have no interest at all in what the CEO thinks is the best site on the network and why? What if he says Parenting instead of Stack Overflow? What if he participates with a personal account so he doesn't get people bothering him about Meta stuff when he's trying to figure out what type of bug is eating his lettuce on Gardening & Landscaping? | |
| Feb 20, 2025 at 13:50 | comment | added | tenfour | @ColleenV if the individual answering had any activity or participation on the network at all, then I'd be slightly interested. It feels like this question would take away precious time from more useful questions. | |
| Feb 20, 2025 at 12:23 | comment | added | curiousdannii | Maybe instead you could ask for some favourite individual Q&As - pages that really highlight the best of what SE can be. | |

| Feb 14, 2025 at 12:59 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | @VLAZ Sorry, I was just interested if maybe they had a specific criteria in mind. I'm so trained by now to always ask for more information if somebody asks for something best, that might not be the best response always. | |
| Feb 14, 2025 at 12:27 | comment | added | ColleenV | I’m not sure why this question is unloved. Maybe if you changed “best site” to “what’s your favorite site”? AMAs are not interrogations folks. It might be nice to ask questions that someone can answer as an individual and not as a company spokesperson. | |
| Feb 14, 2025 at 11:47 | comment | added | VLAZ | @NoDataDumpNoContribution they could add a criteria. But they don't have to. All AMA questions are an implied "according to you, your knowledge, and experience". It's weird to ask for objective criteria on AMA questions. AMA isn't some sort of research. It's supposed to a more informal conversation. Do you have a chat with somebody and throw in "What is the best ice cream? Here are the list of criteria you have to consider and give an objective answer..."? | |
| Feb 14, 2025 at 11:42 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | @VLAZ The asker could of course include a specific criteria in the question and make it a more focused one, if they have one in mind. If not people reading the answer will be puzzled how the respondent came to the conclusion, unless one is included in the answer then. But you always need a metric in order to maximize something. | |
| Feb 14, 2025 at 11:01 | comment | added | VLAZ | @NoDataDumpNoContribution according to the people answering the AMA, surely. AMAs tend to ask personal questions that the person answering can just opine on or otherwise answer according to their own knowledge and experience. Rather than ask them objective questions. | |
| Feb 13, 2025 at 22:20 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | Best according to what criteria? Is this was a question on the network it would be closed. | |
