Quora is garbage. It's full of self-proclaimed experts, who give the impression that their answers are more valuable than those found on other questions/answering sites.
- dna_polymerase 8y agoIt used to be really useful, in the beginning, when people actually contributed to the platform for the sake of curating knowledge. Now it feels like an advertising platform. Either for companies or "influencer". Posts get artificially prolonged, people add stock images to make people click on the posts.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoIt’s been a while since I’ve ran across a quora post that wasn’t some form of advertising or follower building. I mostly do “search + Reddit” these days unless I know the topic wont be well covered there if it’s technical in nature. For things like product reviews Reddit has been ok, but not without manipulation by companies too. I guess at the end of the day you always have to read between the lines.
