Does it even work? I interpret such behaviour as "you are not welcome here" and close the page.

- funkyy 10y agoSometimes there is important information behind those that you need, so you are forced to look for walkarounds.
- user5994461 10y agoOf course it works. That's like the only way to get loads of new users.
- AstralStorm 10y agoDead users. It would be great to just use a throwaway email to bypass the stupidity of only they wouldn't block those. (this is also why sign up process is complex)
- emsy 10y agoFor me too. Whenever I do need something from Quora I disable their register coercion with a ?share=fuckyou query param. However, most non tech-users I know will simply enter their email and a password because it's so simple and they don't see the problem with this dark pattern.
- neillyons 10y agoThere is a Chrome extension that will redirect the Quora links to ?share=1 automatically. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/block-quora-login-popup/fkbnfnaikpdihahjljbigedkangbieih https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/block-quora-login-...
- Twisell 10y agoThank for the tip! I was stuck on that stupid register screen last week and just resigned and look elsewhere. Maybe if I can actually have a grasp of what quora can do for me BEFORE subscribing I might someday consider joining. PS: This is exactly the same crap for web based startup, usually the more they hide they're "sass live demo" under a trial subscribe-wall, the more I'm supspicious. Often with reason as product are shitty. When on the opposite you have a big "try me link" (and possibly even a "see the source on GitHub") I already have a good impression on the product...
- enraged_camel 10y agoIt's like spam... they wouldn't be doing it if it didn't work.
