Left wing crap
May 22, 2021

The mods do not accept any meaning outside of left wing view. This is really ugly. I have deactivated my account on Quora. Never again!

A thorough waste of time. Idiotic rules and incompetent "moderators" who will not hesitate to ostracize participants for any or no reason.

When I only started using Quora, it seemed compelling and versatile until I asked an ironical question about banning badly written books... While I partly meant it because I think that graphomaniacs, who poorly imitate decent ideas of great authors, shouldn't be published, I also didn't expect that people will attack me, some with threats. I could have apologized but I wasn't a monster, I just asked and shared my opinion, you have a right to disagree but not to react violently. After this situation, I became more attentive to what others ask and answer. So many questions are just silly and annoying, but of course, there are questions that encourage you to think and even get some kind of enlightenment to answer eloquently and profoundly. I also like many answers, but a certain category of people there are just obsessed with graphomania (yea, again) and I suspect that lots of authors of badly written books originate from Quora. Despite the negative attributes, I still find it useful, interesting, and creative. You can definitely find like-minded fellows there, add them to friends, and enjoy eloquent private messaging or simply joyfully immerse in their tasteful answers. I like when people reply humorously and with imagination. You shouldn't get too serious in this biased realm but if you describe even the most old-fashioned and awkward prejudice of yours in a unique way, it will be enticing to read it. Quora collected people with different intellectual abilities, some answers are surprisingly smart and sophisticated, especially if you deal with science or arts. We'll see what happens next. Hopefully, more witty minds will appear there. ;)

Ok but not amazing
August 1, 2021

Quora is an okay app if you just want a quick answer for a question however it in general is not a app I would recommend for 100% accurate information, it's essentially the new Yahoo answers, it's filled with Trolls and Propoganda, anyone can type a horrible answer and get 1.1K upvotes, if you say anything against either India or China you will have tons of Chinese (Mostly) or Indian Nationalists typing angry replies and ironically enough getting hundreds of upvotes, meanwhile you can rant and rave about how evil the West is and get 1.1K Upvotes in a few days. If you say anything about CCP your answer will get downvoted and deleted, while if you say something about how amazing the CCP/Communism is you will get 1.1K upvotes and hundreds in the comments mentioning how evil Capatlism and the West is, they don't even prove there point, there point is more like "If you don't like what I have to say, then your brainwashed by WeStErN MeDiA" and your racist even worse than Hitler!. Occasionally there are even Nazi Apologists and Stalin Apologists and others who justify actions of undoubtedly evil dictator's. As for other answers they can range to helpful to straight out Propoganda and the Quora comments are as well regulated as Yahoo Answers was before it shut down (Needless to say it's a mess), overall if you want to use Quora use it but Don't expect to be too amazed when using it.

I have been an active writer on Quora since 2023.
Unfortunately, the sheer amount of trolling questions has significantly diminished the quality of the content being produced, with authors wasting their time answering mass spammers completely uninterested in genuine answers.
Furthermore, the platform had many revamp that favor legacy answers.
Moreover, questions get collapsed without warning or reason. Basically, our answers get marked as needing revision, but there's no warning nor means to appeal the situation.
It is very frustrating to invest a couple of hours writing high-quality articles - citing one's sources such as official governmental statistics, professional books, and academic papers - yet ending up having no visibility at all.
For example, I wrote this answer this morning citing multiple books and academic papers:
Https :// www.quora.com/What-are-the-origins-and-justification-of-EXXJs-being-the-best-leaders/answer/Jonathan-Parent-L%C3%A9vesque
Yet, my answer was downvoted and collapsed after I left a comment on (very megalomaniac with a God-Complex) OP's answer to his own question suggesting that his answer was biased.
"Firstly, EJs are the BEST leaders in the world. All EJs are the BEST of the BEST. They are gods. They are heroes. Human beings cannot live without them. [...] So, why on earth are these people said to be best leaders? Because they are the VERY BEST OF THE BEST! They are the only hope that human beings have."
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-origins-and-justification-of-EXXJs-being-the-best-leaders/answer/Wanderer-334
Finally, I must admit that I am very frustrated at moderation answering neither my multiple business recommendations nor my complaints over the years (I have post-graduate education in management science in marketing)...
Please, do not waste your time or your intellectual property on this private corporation.
