It should become regulated better and have better automated processes, but has fallen susceptible to, and regressed to, the standard of 1 star leftwing propaganda websites with bots and 1-way regressive views
Quora advertised as a higher quality place that offers a wide range of topics to discuss in an 'ask question/post answers/comments' format.
It 'used' to be a good platform but has increasingly become susceptible to propaganda and people who can't take a 'intellectual loss'; there is no point if you can't always shut down a person in argument scientifically/using facts, and you can disguise any smart/winner as 'hatespeech' that needs removal.
The biggest point: you will get punished for being smarter, and faster unlike in real life. By people who are mostly mentally $#*!ed, or cheaters, and suffer Dunning Kruger. By thinking they were 'fighting fascism', they usually censor like a fascist and infiltrate without knowing they are the cause of the quality decrease.
But I give 2 stars because, there are other topics, and it somewhat functions. The censorship is mostly caused by 'the people' and 'lack of regulation', if there are truly trolls and shutins who can't tolerate real facts, mostly leftwingers from the US, it's sort of their fault, and their fault for being susceptible to their cheating and facism tactics.
However, I think these people should be tracked and given a sortof 'lowered quality' status based on removing lengthy posts that withstood argument and criticism, only because they disagree with the facts. (I've also had years old comments, mostly won debates, suddenly removed as hatespeech)
They give a small pat on the back and punish for 'actual logic/skill' at times and don't ever change biased decisions made by moderators, so, that can't be forgiven.
I don't think any platform should 'reward' cheaters and failures whether it's online or not (for reporting to the 'thought police'), so it otherwise deserves 1 star, 2 for the simple ability to ask/answer questions on other topics that could be helpful.
I'd give them 0 stars if I could.
They even banned my alternate account for speaking up and asking questions about my main account getting banned. I and many others continue to get banned with no explanation or due process, and you're the disrespectful one - what an absolute joke.
They are 100% against free speech. My main account all of a sudden got banned and deleted 6/2/20, no warning, no explanation. 400k+ views, 3k+posts, 19 followers, all gone and unrecoverable. Apparently, this is a rampant issue, as I found out many, many other questions about getting banned on Quora already exist, as well as all the negative reviews containing basically the same story.
My ban happened the day after I said something anti-feminist, that is my only guess as to what may have caused the ban. I said something like "yeah, feminism makes you an@$$hole", as a response to someone complaining about their feminist mom being mean to them.
Many others have been banned as well under the same conditions; out of the blue, no warnings, and no explanations or due process. They just hide behind their "be nice, be respectful" policy while flagging your posts and banning you; all that policy really means is they can ban you at any time for anything they deem disrespectful and not explain to you a damn thing. There is an appeal decision option, but you will get an immediate declined decision after you click send, and is a total waste of time. It didn't even take a minute for me to get their declined response in my email.
How do these quoran admins still have a job after harming so many people? People spent their precious time on their site, and quora just $#*!s on them and there's nothing anyone can do but review them after the fact. How many more reviews and deleted accounts will it take for something to be done about this fascist behavior? What obviously oblivious company or individual would fund an organization with such consistently $h!++y practices?
Something about the way the site is structured just bring out the worst in people. The real name policy is seriously a very bad idea for a site like this as it encourages people to play virtue signaling and moral preening all day instead of contributing to the discussion, and do we seriously need even more of that today? The career Quorans are just the worst. It is like today's Twitter but with twice the arrogance (which is saying something) and ten times the word count. All the valuable messages there can sometimes be drowned among the garbage content.
In summary, Quora as it stands now is rife with people of all kinds of problems bringing those problems with them to the site. Some aren't even afraid to show it to the world, which is rather shocking but what's more shocking is the herd of people actually condoning some depraved behaviors there.
Now, imagine a site infested with absurd amount of people who needs 24h butt licking including narcissists, internet thots, and people who brag about how much of an intellectual douche they are gathered in one place. Then add to the injury it is also filled with butt lickers, thot lickers and sapiosexuals BOOM you get Quora. I have quitted Quora and never looked back. The negatives just outweigh the positive and it's such a shame as I've learned a lot from the site.
The only reason why they have any userbase at all, my guess is either they are oblivious to this, or because some of them have their heads sucked too deep into their own rectums they just can't decide which way is out.
I was on Quora for just over a year. I got banned yesterday. Why? Because I constantly questioned the idiots who own and moderate Quora why my genuine criticism was sought to be downvoted and/or deleted, no matter how accurate it was, while the pathetic and provocative (and blatantly untruthful) questions were allowed to remain. It seems on Quora you're not allowed to criticise Americans for any reason, you're not allowed to question the bonafides of obviously fake profiles, you're not allowed to ask why abjectly inane and stupid questions are allowed to remain while comments questioning their validity are immediately deleted, etc.
And in the meantime we're treated to questions and comments from pornographers, prostitutes (a lot of them openly plying their trade on there), perverts (some of the questions are quite vile and sick) and poseurs, all of them accumulating "followers" by the dozen because for every pervert out there posting the question there are hundreds more perverts and sickos getting their kicks from responding to them with words and scenarios so graphic and ludicrous that even a jaded has-been like me would shake his head!
Well, I'm done with Quora, and frankly, life is a bit easier when you don't have to deal with dozens of losers (mostly Americans and Indians, and once in a while the odd Chinese person) aiming for you every single day just because you made an observation about their system, culture and leaders that they just didn't like. Quora doesn't know the difference between debate and dissent, just like it wouldn't know it's own anal orifice even if you gave them a map and a flash light.
PS: my nick on Quora was "Baji Surtees", just to set the record straight.
I was the victim of a scam with swiss union and lost over $60,00.00 and hackerpol said they could help with a small fee of $600. So I thought if they could help me get back my money I would pay them.
Well I paid the $600 and they promised me that the money would be in my account by end of day. Then they asked for more money for a faster software I gave it to them. They promised me on their life that they would have the money in by the end of the night. Again promised me on his life that the money would be in my account. Then it was they needed more money because their software wouldn't work so they needed another $300 I gave it to them and again promised me on his life the money would be in my account within the hour. Yet again asked me for more money said the software was to slow and it would take 3 days to get into my account i said fine it takes 3 days, he said you don't understand we need another $300 dollars for a faster software. I lost my $#*!. I said you had no intentions of giving me my money all you do is take peoples money. Nothing but a bunch of lying thieves. He kept saying no I promise no more money after this. I told him no more money. He said fine it will be 3 Days before you get your money. Then he said the recovery team will be in touch to send our money. The recovery team got in touch alright. They told me that in order for me to get my money I had to pay them $5000. 00 then they would send your money. He said that was just for the software not the transfer I was never told about this because I never would have paid them a dime because I no longer have that kind of money. He said their bad. So you pay me now or no money. All these people do is prey on innocent people and lie through their teeth so they can steal your money. I lost another $1200 because i yet again trusted the wrong people. Hackerpol is a scam they will continue to steal from people unless they are stopped. Please for the love of god don't trust any hackers to help you all they will do is steal from you and lie. I hope to god this helps someone from getting scammed by Hackerpol.
Yes good questions from around the world all meet at Quora and find great minds. Great minds means years of experience coupled with great knowledge and expertise in any chosen field of human endeavor.
Quora is just that and operates in a simple. Easy to use manner. Once you register and confirm your account you can then start asking questions or answer avaiable questions. Each answer you give to a question can be upvoted or downvoted. Where you don't want to answer questions you can also place simple comments which should in no way answer the question for which you placed the comment.If by chance your comment is an answer you may receive a notification from someone telling you not to write answers to questions in the comment box.
Using quora is a good way of searching for answers to most of the questions that you may not find answers to anywhere else on the web. The questions are answered by knowledgable individual who may be company managers professionals in their chosen field of endeavours. It is truly an exciting place.
But unfortunately using quora means using your real identity. This means you must use your registered real life name and surname and other information to be able to use the site fully-that means to both answer questions and ask questions. Without this your account wil be banned from answering question until you update your information with your real identity.
This method has been questioned many times by quora users as many are not comfortable sharing real life information on a site that one day is and tomorrow might just disappear. But time and time again the answer is still the same that "it is the sites policy to require members to use their real identies when registering."
Seeing how much data theft goes on online I also do not feel comfortable sharing that much personal information as there is no guarantee that the information itself is well kept. For those who have no problem in sharing such personal information quora might be a great place to get valuable information and help in answering the many questions that are being asked.
Internet 2020 is as messed up as it could possibly be with social media and Quora is just another prime example of why not everyone deserves to have their opinion be taken seriously when they haven't earned the trust, expertise nor courage to voice it with robust credibility. History will eventually take note of this decade as the age where democracy and free speech failed the very people that needs them, not necessarily because the system is bad but merely because too many people let too many morons and mentally unwell people ran the show. What do people expect out of all this, is beyond me. That a global-scale responsibility be handed to gullible, possibly stupid impressionable people that just got lucky and went viral because they said and did dumb $#*!? Or to people who manipulated everyone to vouch for them while screwing everyone else over on the process? Or to people who have a nice rack and pretty face? Or hand them to people who merely can string together a couple of words to make you feel all fuzzy inside? Betcha that will an embarassing sight if that goes anywhere near a history book in years to come for future generation to see. I think people don't realize the extent of the consequences of what they did in the long term. Can you imagine yourself reading history a century later looking up notable people in 2020 and all you see are thots, sociopaths, attention seekers, narcissists and some random teenage girl who left school to talk about climate change with no real expertise under her belt while being puppeteered by the adults around them? Me neither, but that sounds scarily real at the rate this is going. But whatever, it's not like I have 10 mil followers to have my credibility cranked up and be taken seriously anyway, why listen to a random review for an internet website?
At first I thought Quora was interesting, but then I got deluged with very childish, immature questions, VERY, VERY repetitive. (I found out that people get paid(?) to generate a trillion garbage questions.) Many questioners avoid searching for the same topic & existing answers--they want attention or $, and custom-written responses JUST for them. If you put in any links-to or quote from science-websites, they report you for "Spamming" & the answer gets hidden--the attention-seekers want responses more than quality information.
And due to the nature of the questions, shows that most of these immature folks don't have ANY human contact or experience. (Topics: love, romance, Bizarre or scary questions on What goes through the mind of the opposite sex, college life, human mentality, how humans operate, Shyness, Social Awkwardness, etc.) The questions and a lot of the answers say a lot about the writers: LOTS of self-obsession, isolation, catastrophizing, and especially fantasizing that they are "psychotic/sociopathic" like it's cool, asexual/gay/bi, incels & women-haters, suicidal threats, whatever. Many of the males have really nutty or scary attitudes towards females, and I fear for the women around them. And MOST of these immature folks will never seek help, or create or join a self-help group, or any other effort to make their lives better. QUORA: make it easier to flag repetitive questions, or flag Really Great Writers (to weed out the horrid or very immature or attention-seeking ones.) Make it easier to route all the thousands of "askers" needing mental health help to a centralized forum area with curated, quality help.
The moderators don't know the meaning of the word. They must all be atheist liberals. They harass Christians (some moderators more than others, and some Christians more than others) and have deleted hundreds of my posts. Then they gave me a warning about possibly being banned because I'm repeatedly violating policies. I ask you, What policy could the example in the photo below possibly have violated? It doesn't. It's just straight-up harassment from godless tyrannical moderators. -- Biblical truth with Scripture citations, Biblical archaeological photographic evidence (i. E. Noah's Ark on the top of Mt. Ararat in Turkey with Genesis 8:4 Scripture citation), video evidence, etc. also violates their "be nice be respectful" policy, because nicely and respectfully proving to someone that they're wrong is "offensive" and violates their BNBR policy. Scripture that does not approve of cults, homosexuality, the occult, etc. will certainly be deleted. On the other hand, cults have free reign (i. E. JWs for example). Atheists have free reign. Satanists have free reign. Islam has free reign to lie their butts off. Quora truly deserves to go broke. And then they have the audacity to use your posts on the internet without your knowledge or permission as an example of how great Quora is as a source of information. -- If you're not a liberal, you won't be on there for long. For 3 fabulous years of ministry, they collapsed a ton of my answers (which still allows people to view them). For about a week, they would blur my posts and post a "warning" that clicking on it would reveal "sensitive content" (it was the Gospel!). Then they began to delete them, one after the other, relentlessly. They finally figured out how to rid themselves of the problem of me once and for all: It's called "blocked."
Edit: Went back quite a few months later, and I was able to post. I was a on real roll, praise God. No complaints, no problems. It only took about two weeks until they blocked my account again - without warning this time - and once again for baloney, worse than the first time. They have no idea if that's my name or not. They have never seen my identification, and they never will. I must have pissed the devil off fierce! Pats myself on shoulder, praise God. Good job! (View the photos starting from the far right.)
Answer: Yes, the questions about penis size and virginity seems to sponsor endless discussion!
Answer: Because Google put Quora answers at the top of their search results when people search for a question they see the answer from Quora. Which is stupid because most answers on Quora aren't even correct lol. Idk why Google wants to promote that site, if they own it or they want to buy it and incorporate it into Google at some point. I think the site is awful and it should be shut down because it's just a propaganda site. You do not see Quora from any other search engine for example duckduckgo. But you see it in Google.
Answer: No, it is obviously leftist but it does on occasion allow questions or replies for short periods of time that are obviously uncomfortable to the "politicaly correct" crowd in a useless attempt to appear unbiased.
Answer: I honestly feel and highly suspect from certain traits that Quora pays Google to be high on the rank and they get *buddy buddy* with the government. Quora is essentially too big to fail. We no longer have capitalism but now live under governmentism which Trump pledges to end but can he? Does he really mean what he says? That is the million $ question.
Quora has a rating of 1.6 stars from 572 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Quora most frequently mention social media, hate speech and left wing. Quora ranks 79th among Question And Answer sites.
