    Stack Overflow reached its maximum “duplicates”. So new users arent engaged on asking anything because it is of course already a duplicate of xyz.

      Isn’t it a good thing if your question is marked as a duplicate? That means you now have lots of answers readily available which already answered the question.

          I’d be like “Oh boy let me get redirected to lots of useful answers to my question next time too”.

          I don’t understand why you would frame that as being “slapped”. Does having your question marked as a duplicate hurt your feelings?
