I saw this question. But I'm surprised to see it's not closed for being opinion-based. It looks like a poll actually. It doesn't cope with math itself.

There can even be 1000 answers and each answerer can think of a specific mathematician.

    $\begingroup$ The old questions are excused from closure. They are the last paradise on this site. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ "paradise" > relics of ancient history, and should be left buried the same way. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I've also wondered why past questions from the site got so many upvotes, despite how little effort was put into them. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Gordon At first a fledgling site is happy to include everything. Then the reality of volume and quality sets in. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ low quality is okay if you don't have too many people. The problem isn't low quality by itself. The problem is low quality + too many ppl. Thats why rules become strict $\endgroup$
