Bots can die
April 7, 2023

I will kill myself today because Quora banned me. They want a martyr against censorship, they just killed one.

Pretentious people giving long-winded answers to silly questions.

Ex- "Why couldn't the Hulk beat Thanos?" and then someone writes a Novel about their opinion on the matter like they wrote the characters and created the MCU.
Why do I need this sent to me in email? I though it was more for deep conversation, but I rarely see any of that anymore.

If you have a real question, it tends to not get answered.
And a lot of questions I have seen that get more volume seem to be regurgitated questions that have been asked before.

Ex - "What was something that happened to you as a kid that made you never look at the world the same?"
Then a month later, "What was a traumatizing experience that happened to you at a young age that made you look at the world differently?"

After using it for a couple years, all I can say is the site is ultimately an echo-chamber filled with a lot of silly conversation when it's supposed to be intellectual. And it's becoming more and more difficult to find those gems of informative conversation.

I will unsubscribe today. It's totally a left wing platform with absolutely nothing but a bunch of propaganda.

Quora is owned by 2 FB employees. It's their platform for getting their own rigid beliefs and there.

In answer to "What is an empath? I gave the following answer listed as first answer below. Tell me why empaths claim it did not answer the question?

Below is my answer to "What is an empath and the Quora attack on the answer:

"What is an empath?:
Empaths are a large group of judgmental, conceited, psycho-centric personalitys who believe they have a monopoly on normality and morality as opposed to the minority groups of those who fall outside of their neurotic, hand wringing spectrum.
Because empaths make up a vast majority of the spectrum that is contained in the psychopath-sociopath-machiavellian to empath continuum they believe they have the right to make negative and dangerous decisions to control the behavior and attitudes of those who do not think or feel like them. And because narcissistic pro-empathic members of their group have been propagandizing for years against the non-empaths, they now take a pseudo-religious inquisitorial view which will lead in the near future to a holocaust of the non-empaths.
{At least that is the definition contained in my version of the newly arisen Ambrose Bierce' Devil's Dictionary}"

They're very biased against Christian or conservative answers, and they'll target you and there is no recourse.

Quora is a garbage site
December 12, 2018

Don't waste you're time. A ton of weird Donald Trump junk questions. They pull off any discussion from the right - just a junk site

I'd kill it twice
October 11, 2019

If Quora was a real person, I'd kill it twice just to make sure. Disgusting site with disgusting users. F*ckers should get what they deserve.

WTF
March 25, 2018

No clear explanation about the spamming policy, very biased judgment too. This has been an issue since 2014 (or perhaps years before) and here we are in 2018 without even slightly improvement, someone even said that it getting worse.
My the one and only "answer" too got judged as a spam when my answer doesn't even have any political thing nor promotion (it was not about politic/sjw afterall), just a simple answer with simple link of my source of thinking and now that my answer is gone, I don't have a chance to contact them and ask for clarification at all. The warning I got only explained basic things why it could be considered "spam" including "repetitive/mutiple" promotion to certain link whereas I only wrote an answer only "once."
There is no screening for "question", any question (including trolling & hate-speech) is fine, but regarding the "answer", comes "be nice, be respectful" rule. Question is even more vital than answer, u know. My answer that got warned and deleted was about stabbing people, this could be understandable since it was involved in "how to hurt someone", but what can I help if the question itself asking "When stabbing the chest, should the blade be turned horizontal or vertical?", so the question itself is about hurting people!
Not to mention that now I can't even upvote anyone, only downvote is the option I have.
