Quora

Don't get me wrong the site actually has a lot to offer to you if you are here ONLY to read and do so very selectively, since there are many people from all over the place so you can learn about a lot of things if you know what to look for. But then since a lot of the answers were answered by regular people (not experts/professionals) it might be good to keep in mind that what you read might not be always objective nor accurate. However, if you're here to write your own answers, and plan to do so routinely all I can say is that you are up to a lot of rage and disappointment. First of all there are a lot of snobs on the site who think they know everything there is to know and just don't know when to shut up. Then the worst thing is that since the site works like social media the consensus made by the crowd might come off so ridiculous you'll wonder what's the average IQ of the users there when totally dumb answers get more votes than the more informative ones. Also, the amount of circlejerking between users could shock you. If you are serious there and want to get readers you really have to make friends with the peeps and maybe lick some of the popular users' asses to get attention or audience otherwise forget about it. The site seem to value social interaction so much more than quality of the content (since more users means more content and traffic). You'd be better off making your own blog to write if you want to avoid unnecessary rage from seeing your well-written answer got less valued than some jackass with sub-par fiction writing skills that somehow managed to charm readers with some phony autobiography you'd had to have half a brain to believe it. The moderators also did jack $#*! to moderate the site which tells me that they have other priorities.

It's only a echo chamber. Bigott and dumb people are writeinge they opinion whitout reasons and if you question then, you will get insultet. When you reports insults, you get banned.

Quora blocked me for defending the hate against my country. Fake news at its finest. Maybe they should partner up with Fox.

I'm probably beating a deadhorse by now but I just feel I need to say something. Quora isn't what most people think it is. The site have lost many of its good writers, and what's left in there are teenagers, shills, sellouts for internet fame and adults who seriously have nothing better to do. I will make a bet Quora users are akin to other internet forums like Reddit, which are mostly strangers with free time. But because of the premise the site promised to the users about knowledge and other bull$#*! like that, it makes people think their opinions matter more than they really are. Ie people misconstrue their opinion as knowledge, merely because they posted it on Quora instead of Twitter. And then these opinions can get a lot of views, upvotes, sometimes for no good reason at all, socially validating what might be a totally wrong information.

If you are a newcomer, beware of getting addicted and spending hours on end surfing the site, getting subconsciously brainwashed by the people there. If you've watched The Social Dilemma, you'll understand me. Quora is definitely no different than other social media (ps I'm actually surprised they didn't include this site on the documentary). The amount of misinformation is unbelievable, and it can be difficult to know whether you're reading a correct or wrong answer. This is because the site's stupid rules of BNBR, you can't debunk someone else's answer when they're blatantly wrong because it's "not nice". Such a way to run a site dedicated for knowledge, I think I'm going to barf.

Quora is home for some of the most sick, immature, arrogant, narcissistic and creepy people I've ever seen online. What's worse, people take everything way too personally and seriously over any perceived slights. It gets to the point where I can be sure some of these people are only compensating for something lacking in their life for being so censorious. You can imagine the usual demography of introverted, shy and awkward and nerdy people who have trouble standing up for themselves irl acting like they're these chads and the moral arbiters of truth and reality on the internet because they never have to deal with the consequences you normally get for being disrespectful, conceited sonuva b*tches if they're going act like that in any real life scenario. Having watched Black Mirror before, my observation only led me to see some users resembling character Daly from USS Calister if you catch my drift. Tip to Quora users you probably want to stop taking yourself way too seriously, it's just a god dang website. Tip to visitors, the website has plenty of good information but the amount of misinformation can as bad as it can get and wrong information can get a lot of upvotes just because it's posted by popular users. Just be careful and think for yourself, check other sources and don't trust anything being said just like that because it has a lot of upvotes.

Forget about your 1st amendment and freedom of expression, the site is basically based on dictatorship. They might lead you to think at first that it's land of the free where you can exchange ideas on the outset, but sooner or later the darker shade of the site will hit you especially when your name started to get recognized by the community. If you say something wrong or step on the wrong foot, expect to get your answers ghosted, collapsed, or your profile banned, often times for no reason at all. Moderators don't do their job properly. Role of mods is for maintaining balance on the site, but mods in Quora obviously pander to power users, I assume because they bring in traffic and raise statistics so staffs at Quora have easier time to present to shareholders. They don't care about their userbase at all. This leads me to power users. They're this type of people that obviously can't make it on other social media site so they put all of their eggs on this site, which is why many appeared to be so overly threatened and upset when some new users started getting momentum and competitively popular as them. They can say what they want to deny this, but it's obvious to see how the way they rake followers is by nurturing useful idiots and tools to build their massive empire while outright abusing truth tellers and dissenters. They don't like being called out, maybe because fragile ego. The good writers on the site on the other hand, are this sort of oblivious, world war nuclear scientists type. They're smart, have a lot to offer but little do they know, like the nuclear scientists, Quora only want to milk them dry of their expertise and knowledge and shove them right to the cleaners when someone deem them too much of a threat to the pathetic power users. But then, maybe even lower than the scientists, since usually they aren't also thirsty of attention or popularity.

They censor everything i say. They are evil. Some questions post. But if i try to correct someone, comment vanishes.
