This question you asked was the one of the questions I asked on musing when I kept seeing answers get upvoted and not questions. I figured questions should be more important because without questions there won't be answers. As true as that might be I got some responses that changed my mindset about it.

Musing.io is a place where people come to find answers to their questions. What this simply means is that musing is existing today because people have seen that they can get answers to their questions no matter how technical or silly it may be. Imagine the first 100 users on this platform just asked questions and no one answered do you think the platform will be this grown by now? I seriously doubt if it will still exist.

Questions is a quest for knowledge while answers are knowledge provided. Anyone can ask questions but not everyone can provide answers. Giving answer to questions requires high level of intelligence, experience, research, thinking, residual knowledge and what have you. Answers are well thought out before being provided but questions can be asked without giving it much thought.

Both are important but both are not equal. It is only fair to reward answers more than questions. Compare the time it took me to type this answer to the time it took you to ask that question. I'm sure you would agree with me.

Thank you.
