Anyone who has coded including me can attest to the importance of stackoverflow. Sad to see the recent news regarding the moderator firings and changes to the website. Do you think this is a part of the broader resentment against tech Google faced a lot of protests, Amazon was put under a lot of scrutiny although the context was different than StackOverflow?

How do people make money on Stack Overflow? When I posted my comment, there was one close vote. Now there are four.

I VTC-ed a bit hastily and upvoted your comment when I realized my mistake. Very similar status-declined feature request to undo close votes, also with a heavily downvoted answer by Jeff — John. Thank you everyone for your comments. I am a business student and program to make some of the technical things I do easier.
