Can we discuss Quora? Does anyone still visit this shithole?

-

>a bad mixture of Yahoo! answers retardation with a good sprinkling of reddit aids

>overrun by men who think they are super smart writing 3000 word essays for questions that really only require about 200

>known to be a misogynistic hellhole with female Quorans getting run off by scrots (unless you post titty pics)

>sneakily opened a bunch of accounts via Fagbook no one knew about, difficult to delete

>pressures you into using your "real" name and a "real" picture of yourself to supposedly boost your exposure, totally not for data mining purposes at all nope nope

>of course turned into another popularity factory, with certain users getting hundreds of thousands of up votes for responding with snarky quips and Twitteresque one liners

>has been accused of censoring certain writers/topics/answers over the years, from large editorials to individual users, for whatever reason

I don't use it. The worst part about it is that it consistently appears in the top results for searches.

An anecdote or two is sometimes a fun read, but overall I don't take anything from there to heart.

Quora is imo good only if you use it for science questions and you are lucky enough that a professor or another expert in the field answers your question (bless the indian engineers for ALWAYS saving my ass). The rest are just random people writing novels instead of getting straight to the point. I swear I never saw so many instances of people using so many words and telling so little.
Here is my favorite activity to do when I am consciously trying to get mad: type "daughter punishment" in the search box. You are guaranteed 100% to lose your fucking mind within the first 5 minutes of reading the questions and answers.

No. 588664

Quora is a hellhole. Even when you want actual scientifically accurate answers you get a bunch of internet phd wannabes answering with their own opinions they try to claim as facts.
Pop culture related questions and answers are even worse. You search for an explanation for a scene or a meaning and get a bunch of half assed fan theories.
Not to mention the fucking spam mail that site sends you every other minute. Worst decision of my life was creating an account.

I have trouble lurking Quora because it makes you log in and I don't wanna do that, but it's probably for the better.

Speaking of which, I'm SO glad Yahoo Answers went under. Such a shithole.

When I was a teen I would look up answers to sex/body questions on yahoo answers. It was always divided right down the middle when it came to answers on those topics.

Looking back it was insecure teen girls asking vagina questions and half the replies were reasonable reassuring women.. and the rest were scrotes trying to make them worry more about how yes you have to shave or men will scream when they pull your pants down. My first taste of that scrote shit was probably on there.

this was basically my experience as a teen, googling sex questions would take you right to yahoo answers. so many awful scrotes there that fueled my insecurities, which was probably their goal.

No. 995310

I always knew quora had a reddit vibe to it, all the "experts" trying to school you on some single sentence question to boost their hot air balloon sized ego. Writing entire essays for you to waste your life reading

No. 996340

I signed up a long time ago, thinking maybe I could get a few dollars here and there for answering questions. Never followed through with it. Anyway, I still get emails from time to time from them, and there's a lot of really gross content on there which is clearly adults trying to bait kids into talking about sexual stuff, or just sharing sexual things related to children in general. I wish I had screenshots of some of the really horrible shit I've seen on there. Definitely a shithole.

If you enter your email on there once to see an answer, you'll get spammed by emails from them multiple times a day. Fuck them.

This post was sent as a notification directly to my throwaway email that I used to sign up for Quora. This girl is literally 11, and she's posting pictures of herself on Quora to be rated. The comments ranged from old men telling her she'd be prettier if she smiled, to just blatantly predatory. The people who told her she shouldn't be on the site posting pictures of herself said it like it was a suggestion and not an objective fact that this child shouldn't be on the internet. She would reply with "I'm not stupid, I'm not going to meet up with anyone". Kid, you're already posting pictures of your face for strange men to enjoy, you've already fucked up. You're engaging them in conversation. She replied to "Big Dick" saying her parents don't allow WhatsApp, but apparently they do allow her to use Quora and post images of herself. She says she actively has conversations with people, even invites it. Her account username is her first and last name btw. So these men have her face and her full name. I'm sure it isn't hard to get her to tell them whereabouts she lives. It's sickening. She's too young to understand, you can't get it through to her, the danger she's in. She's ignorant and over confident and thinks she's untouchable and this isn't harmful. She keeps saying weird stuff like "my friends say I look 8 and I think it's cool to look even younger than I am" and basically bragging about how pretty and young she looks when she's literally 11. She's fucking brainwashed.

just went on the website and this is the first thing I see on the homepage. he posted a picture he took with her too, with a black bar covering her eyes. do I spend too much time on lolcow or is this vaguely creepy? why would he take a picture with her when they got off the plane?

Kek not normal at all. Saving a picture of a little girl for 10 whole years and then writing about their every interaction on the internet 10 years later. It’s fucking creepy.

It seems like a cute interaction and would probably make my day too. What's creepy is the photo. I also have no idea why the mother would let her child presumably sit next to a random man.

Quora is the only place on the internet where I see nice, respectful indian men though. Like always top tier takes on how to treat and respect women and how to romance. So strange. While all other groups of men on there are disgusting and indian men on other platforms are usually harrassing.

I thing the worst part for me is the people in quora who will purposefully go and and give troll or smartass answers to questions and they do the same thing on many questions.

like the spiritual category on quora is filled with atheists spamming so many questions with ''god doesnt exist, imaginary man, delusions'' answers.
