At least the SO clones will still probably have content that you can make use of in some way; what's worse is when you search for an error code and you get back tons of pages that don't even have the exact code you searched for, which seems to be increasingly common recently.
It also used to be the case that you could dig into the second, third, ... sometimes even 20-30 pages in and hit the jackpot. Now, the results are even less relevant there, you soon get to "the end", and if you change your query slightly and try again a few times to search harder for what you want, you'll get hit with the unsolvable CAPTCHA hellban.
