I log in every single day to read answers. I agree that the quality of the content has gone down, but they got me hooked (I can't consciously tell if the recommendation algorithm is "correct", if it's the UX or if it's some other factor).
- keerthiko 8y agoI log in almost daily as Quora had worked itself into my reflexive "social media cycle" along with HN/twitter/fb that i trigger every so often. But for months now I just tilt my head in bewilderment at the content it shows me. I might have read one or two of these fantasy sexual encounter stories in full because they randomly popped up, and since then my feed always has several of them at the top of my feed. It seems to have overfit incredibly aggressively.
- kankroc 8y agoSame here with Star Wars/ASOIAF content. I get it. You figured I like those two things, but it's incredible that it won't pick up that I am (hopefully) not that dull.
- brokenmachine 8y agoI see millions of questions along the lines of, "how can I tell if he/she likes me or not"? I have no idea why Quora seems to have decided I'm some socially awkward teenager. Maybe I clicked on something like that once and it has never forgotten.
