However, the prevalence of scams and low-quality content has raised significant concerns about the platform's integrity and reliability, suggesting a need for improved moderation and user support.

Quora is full of fake accounts trying to drum up business for themselves, moderators who are keen to stand up for bullies and quick to censor people who challenge them, and of course, it has some of the dumbest questions on earth being answered by people who don't know their $#*! from a hole in the ground.

Just another low-rent online site clinging to life by the thread of stupidity. It's one shade below Reddit, and Reddit is also on its last legs.

People would do themselves a real favor by going to official sources for answers or reading books again. The internet is not the place for serious discussion. I had a comment on here deleted because someone was offended that I stood up for a disabled person who was accused of using "the victim card."

Wow, sorry, didn't know it was beat up on disabled people year on Quora. Quora is a shining example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's a whole lot of people who've read three paragraphs about a certain law or historical event and believe they're experts.

Rubbish
April 21, 2023

Quora had a tremendous potential as a knowledge sharing platform. Instead it became the playground of ultranationalists, racists and trolls. Quora's moderation doesn't take action against such users, on the contrary they support, if not promote such behaviour, given that their bots are in fact acting just like trolls, given that they seem to enjoy building hate among human accounts with their bot trolling questions and nonsense answers. Therefore good human accounts are leaving Quora en masse. Why not? After all it's an absolutely rubbish platform.

I never even posted on Quora, I was blocked from liking or disliking anything and can't reply. Why? Because I downvoted some liberal misinformation and now I'm blocked. That's how touchy these crybabies are. I've literally have gotten zero warnings and nowhere in my account does it show me restricted! If i log out and change over to a different Google account to log in with, then I can vote, post, etc. with no issues. It's very obvious this is another Commie-owned self-wank misinformation site the liberals use to spread their mental disorders. Hard pass.

Waste of time. Question posted are posted by left leaning misinformed people that cannot handle the truth.
As an example, I corrected a women, who was ANTI Trump and stated many documented facts about Joe Biden and my post was taken down. This is as bad as when the leftist socialist were running Twitter before Musk fixed it!

$#*!. Just $#*!
April 2, 2023

Terrible community, dog$#*! moderation, selective censorship and they constantly reward malignant liars by monetizing their answers and deleting the comments of people who dare stand up to their cash cows. Terrible source of information above all and full of bull$#*! questions like "my IQ is 247.4, what does this mean?" And legitimate questions get taken down because someone on the moderation team's feelings got hurt.

CON BOT
March 30, 2023

QUORA may contact you with an offer to make money if you answer questions for them. This is contact generation BOT with very shady practices. I tried it. Within a few day I began receiving 20 or more emails a day. Many were legitimate questions. I am a retired business leader and part time Engineering Prof at a major East Coast University in the US. I soon began to receive questions seeking methods and sources of info that would facilitate cheating on homework, tests, and admissions exams. These questions did not seem to originate from US Citizens, but sounded Middle Eastern.

While teaching, several students came to me and informed me of rampant plagiarism and cheating by Asian and MIddle Eastern Students. I was shocked, but when I began to check it out, I found several of my students were submitting reports they lifted almost entirely off the internet. They were disciplined.

THE POINT: I will not assume that QUORA does this deliberately, but their BOT is either not managed at all, or needs serious moderation. It appears that these students not only cheat in school, they cheat to get into the school, and QUORA helps them do it. This may or may not be illegal, but the site needs to critically review it's operations, or it needs to be investigated for such violations. I suggest that you do not join, and if you do, be very careful. I cancelled my membership, of course.

Quora treats me like second-rate garbage. It has a screen message that says I'm "not allowed" to write an answer to the posts.
I have tried to deactivate at least 15 or 20 times and they keep on logging me back in.
Then the screen lies and pretends that I "logged in."
I DID NOT LOG IN. THE SITE LOGGED ME IN AND IT WAS BASED ON THEIR LIES.
I do not know how many users are being coercively logged back in.
This is immoral and wildly abusive.
I should be able to read things on this site without being automatically logged in and then having them lie and say that I logged in.

Simply put quora is an embodiment of stupidity. Of course, you can find some good answers there. The problem is, that before you do that you must swim a lot in sh*t, an endless river of stupidity ignorance, and incompetence.

Wow, has this forum changed! I used it several years ago and for an online forum, it was pretty good. Much better than Redditt, a forum I had to get away from because it seemed to be run by toxic 12 year olds. But now Quora is run by bots! If is literally impossible to find a legitimate question OR respondent. Over and over again, nothing but troll questions about Atheists, AI, etc. Even categories like art are funneled through the eye of those. Just so sad. I heard they pay people, so now people spam them w/ bots. Even the questions now are toxic. It is actually worse than Redditt. Every online forum seems to get taken over by toxic people it seems, which has been the name of the game for social medic for a long, long time,

I guess I was a little naive in thinking most of the members of this sight would be grateful for any positive valid input I could give on a range of topics. Similarly, I thought it was best to convey a pleasant, open, humble and respect worthy mind and character through my opinions, thoughts and opinions. How wrong I was! As mentioned so many times, there's a 'thug like group mentality' that reigns over the sight, and the more insightful and sincere a respondent is, the more aggressively he / she is degraded, humiliated and insulted. Their aim is to get a 'rise' out of you; the more angry and frustrated you become, the more they get 'high'. Once other members get a sniff of this, they come in for the kill, like circling piranhas, looking for a place to bite. And of course they bait you, wanting the carnage to go on as long as possible.
In coming to the site, my aim was to be sincere and respectful, making sure my comments did not upset anyone.(If only I had known what they were really like). The experience has taught me a lesson; don't humble yourself to ratbags. I don't deserve their punishment. Now I'm in the process of looking for a site where people thank you for your input rather than spit at you.

Well unfortunately I'm writing this review because I have witnessed the extreme bias of Quora in certain settings. Im a firefighter and I was told by another member that I'm a worthless lazy overpaid (I'm a volunteer so not paid at all) "disposable hero". Looked into that persons profile it is full of hate speech vs any law enforcement with subtle violent actions toward police officers etc…. Well long story short Quora moderation deleted my response to this individual basically saying I hope no first responders lose their life saving you since you obviously think they are worthless, lazy, overpaid, and disposable humans. But left the comment that I was responding to untouched which basically called all first responders "disposable" and in the context of their account there is a ton of profanity and hate speech against police, etc… that it has a violent connotation even insinuated an undertone of killing government officials completely uncensored. It just sucks to see a site with so many productive conversations giving a platform for such incredibly biased hate speech that encourages violence….

So, I was talking about that I was going to maybe boast about "how my face as a Laotian is different from others in my ethnicity, especially how I feel like I look Kawaii even as a Southeast Asian", and I get a rather racist "anti-Asian" answer that doesn't clearly explain exact genetics and chemistry and such and instead he insulted and threatened me as his answer! Now I'm too mortified to go to this site anymore and after checking out the ratings of this site here on sitejabber, at least I don't feel all alone giving complants about this unmoderated problematic website and y'all on sitejabber were right! I mean, I will upload the evidence whenever I'm brave enough to, since I was threatened by that same user on that site. Before that, it was an okay site; even the comparison between both Korean pop groups, they gave me a rather satisfying answer than right after I asked about why my genes are this and that.

Quorans exhibits every narcissistic trait you can imagine. Popularity contests, elitism, self-obsession, grand delusions, denial, ignorance, you name it. There are some decent folks here and there on Quora but finding them is extremely rare.

Now, what are the type of "narcissistic" people you will find on Quora? Self-proclaimed "professors" who boast about their "PHD" credentials but throw a hissy fit when they see opposing viewpoints. I don't even believe these professors even for legit academia. Their posts have far too many grammar errors and signs of low emotional intelligence to be considered a professor.

Drama queens who believe the world revolves around them. Conspiracy theorists who make profoundly dumb statements like "COVID-19 is caused by eating too much Broccoli". But worst of all, the mob mentalities that flood Quora. You literally get witch hunted for having a different opinion!

I want to be angry, however, I don't see any reason. Just like Reddit trolls, Quorans act only powerful on the internet, but in real life, their self-worth is equivalent to a blank piece of paper. Quorans cope hard by needing validation by strangers who don't care about them in the end.

Website is seriously ignorant and jaded by anti semitism, racism and homophobia. Its so low i cant imagine how google funds it. How can this website make money? To me the people who use it are all LGBT woke cancel culture. No idea how great the 1960's were. How great being rich is.

They are all "broke" woke who have nothing. No computer, no TV no books. They are just using a phone google to promote racism, LGBT and poverty.

The creators of Q u o r a are funded by Eastern Europe and Israel. Even Muslims complain how
Biased q u o r a is.

People on here tell me i hate video games. I am broke. When i never commited a crime. Dont drink. Dont have kids. A wife. I dont have a lot of money but i am not broke...

This website is just day by day radical, israeli Europe ideas of semitism and lies.

Do not use it. Ban it with face book another far east, Middle eastern communist dump.9

Full of fakes!
December 31, 2022

I hadn't realised Quora is full of fakes! I didn't know it literally pays people to ask questions. I really want to help people, so finding out that I spent my limited energy, as a person in the severe disability group, answering people who just don't care, asking inane questions to try getting cash, whilst you don't get paid to share your knowledge, experience, time, compassion, empathy, or whatever, is heart breaking. It's not that I expected to get paid to answer the questions, it literally never entered my head, it's that finding out I was suffering pain, after thinking I was genuinely trying to help, whilst in fact these people just don't actually care, and there is a double standard of our time being worth nothing. I'm considered an expert in my fields, so much so that I've been relied upon to give statement in court, and yet there are people writing the most hideous questions, to get people like myself to waste our time, just so they can get paid. I was told there is a way writers can make money on there, but WE have to pay a subscription to do that. Erm, first, why the double standard? Second, my time, experience, and knowledge is valuable, which I don't mind giving for FREE, on EQUAL footing. Third, I don't actually have the spare money to pay for a subscription to support a double standard, so that someone might, on the off chance, click to support my answer, to a question they're getting paid for.

I like EQUAL opportunities, not... well, whatever this farce is.
