Quora seems pure clickbait at this point. Unfortunately, because it didn't start that way, now anything still relevant on that site is burried under the weight of the nonsense.
- hot_gril 3y agoI get random emails from them about "popular" questions like "why has Javascript replaced C++?" Seems like ragebait.
- spiderice 3y agoOne thing I noticed back when I browsed Quora a lot is that most the answers were in direct opposition to the question being asked. It’s like clockwork. Q: why is running so good for you A: it actually isn’t good for you. <insert justification> Q: why do so many people run when it’s so bad for you A: it actually is really good for you. <insert justification> Every single question seemed to be this way. It probably reveals a lot about human nature, but it really turned me off to know I was just reading knee jerk reactions to questions rather than anything accurate. All this to say, yes, ragebait is the lifeblood of Quora.
