I'm not sure if the author is trolling, but that's probably because I've been extremely livid at Quora for the past couple of days. I had an account from years ago, but now I can't do a single thing unless I follow 5 topics. I can't even read the first answer like an anonymous user can, and I can't access my profile page to delete my account. The only option I have is to go into developer tools and delete the modal from the DOM when I get linked to a question. You can roll your eyes at me all you want, but I'm bring cantankerous for a reason: I have had an account for years and they locked me out, and I find that really rather offensive. I now have a worse experience than an anonymous user, which is just silly.

I'm the author, and I definitely wasn't intending to troll - I'm just documenting the experience and sharing my takeaways, with as little judgement as possible. Personally speaking, I'm also not a fan of dark UX patterns and such, and have found myself frustrated with their UI decisions at times, as well.

If you get sick of individually hacking website DOMs, you can install a CSS manager (Stylebot, Stylish), or Greasemonkey for that matter, to make your edits permanent. That said, I'm strongly considering "* { display: none; }" for quora.com. No, it's not that fucking annoying. It's worse.
