You can find some useful answers that may really help you. On the other hand there are many affiliater advertiser people around on Quora and they are promoting their paid service on the community. Because it is about earning a thousand dollars getting traffic! Quora, please be more transparent!

You can really spend hours on this site if you are not careful. Lots of interesting topics, lots of interesting answers. But nothing is perfect in this world, and Quora is not an exception. My main complain is that many users are pretencious or disrespectful.
I have seen hundreds of answers beginning with a 'What a stupid question!' and I consider this extremely insulting for the person asking. If you don't like a question, just pass your turn!
Yet, some troll questions like 'Why is Donald Trump the best president ever in history?' gets serious answers.
A good question and answer site, but watch out for the trolls and pompous users.

The Quora website is 100% biased to the left. They practice unlawful censorship on any post that has an independent or right opinion. It's truly sad to see them choose sides. I was hoping to find any unbiased and independent opinion website where all sides are allowed to have open and educational discussions. I guess I'll have to keep looking!

These moderators that run this site are ban happy morons that allow others to use their own language anyway they please, but if it's you complaining about a particular topic and they are swift enough to give you a swift kick to the cantaloupes, the site is a pure cesspit and filled with all sort of smut, I would not even recommend a jumping spider there, let alone anyone else for that matter, worst site in existence and should not exist at all.

To call it a knowledge sharing website is such a joke that I can't express this in words.
Very cheap website which just wants to addict people. Everyone from the staff to the users are nasty.
Believe me, it's so so bad that I think writing about it itself is a criminal waste of time.

So, this site is a huge "why me" festival full of people who are more than willing to get offended because they didn't receive the answers they wanted. The responders are tired of answering the same questions over and over and over for the lazy users who can't be bothered to read the +100 responses on the question that was already asked in the same wording. There is no moderation so I'm constantly reporting perverts looking for 12 year olds, criminals who are looking to become better criminals, and people who "self diagnose" as mentally ill. Not recommended for anyone who easily gets offended or worked up over the news. Not recommended for anyone under 18, but the age for the site is 13.

Quora has become the mistress of the masses it seeks to please. Quora's desire to expand into India, Pakistan and points east, means that it does not allow anything that criticizes inhumane and despicable treatment which is widespread in their cultures is prohibited. I published an article on widespread rape and the mistreatment of women in India, including a citation linking to the young woman in India who was abducted and raped on a bus with a metal pole, and my account was suspended. Rape is systematic in India, unreported, and covered up the police and officials yet if you attempt to report and write about it on Quora, you will be censored and banished.

It used to be better
November 4, 2018

I discovered Quora a couple of years back and it seemed quite novel at the time, filled with interesting tech related answers from various experts in their fields. Later some well known celebrities joined in and it was still fascinating to see what people from NASA had to say or some political people. But now its filled with various self-help and motivational speeches with thousands of likes from seemingly random people which aren't exactly helpful to my interests.

F--k Quora
September 21, 2019

They deleted probably around 100 of my posts, because I included a link in my answers. Which was complely related to the answers I provided. They claimed they don't want people endorsing themselves. Why in the f--k would I answer questions for free, while Quora collects BIG TIME, when I can't even endorse myself. It was a link to something I'd written, which further answered complicated questions. They don't want people directing traffic away from their site, but they have more than enough traffic. And it'll probably cost them in the long run. It's possible they deleted the posts for personal reasons, but regardless they're sick.

First off. Some questions here and there have great responses. But way to many debates are with no real reason flagged or dropped. Some things cannot be discussed at all, like Islam or Women equality etc. Political correctness seems to undermine everything. If you are polite but have a opinion that goes against left sided mindsett, you get flagged or banned.
So to those that think that you get great answers on this site. You may not get the actual truth. Think about that!

Much has been said about the Quora moderation, with their circlejerk echo chamber. It goes further than that, Passive Aggressive Moderators, Going as far as threatening "recommended for you" questions/answer in the feed. These moderators would hack your computer and use trackers and your IP Address to steal your information, and ruin your life. Beware, these moderators can potentially be xenophobic.

Very biased
July 7, 2019

Many of the questions posted regarding China and Hong Kong are as biased and misleading (pro-Beijing) as you can get. The writers often express their own "feelings" without factual support to their claims.

Don't bother.
March 5, 2021

I used this site recently having last been on about two years ago. I saw few if any substantive answers to any of the topics I looked at. I later reviewed follow-up posts to previous answers and questions I had posted, and it was honestly too snarky to read or even look at. I get that the online community is ruthless, but Quora was launched as a site for people to ask questions and talk about big ideas. What it has become is a venue for one-word answers and trolls. I would give less than one star if I could.

I enjoy spending time on Quora but there are too many trolls, especially China trolls. Honestly, the Quora editors are either not able to control this or they are controlled by China. It is very sad. So many good writers have left. Soon it will be a ghetto site if they are not careful. Very biased site.

Quora is a perfect Jihadi platform. You will come across lots of posts condemning US, Israel, India & the west and the moderator is completely fine with it. But the moment you question them, your post will immediately deleted. Also, there are lot of fake accounts in Quora. Best to stay away from it.

I've seen many reviews, but "Left" is not one that I share. Right, Republican, Communist is what I describe this site as. Republican Communist Right Moderators.

These Quora Guidelines and the "Moderator" people who completely erase what has been said in comments answers or questions is only politically motivated and violating my freedom of speech. I speak the truth about Trump having screwed this country up so much, I speak verifiable facts with evidence, and these people take down my questions comments and answers. It doesn't even need to be a Trump flavor it could be anything, and the users and these Moderators have way too many privilages to be able to silence anyone for any reason. No wonder the color is Red. I think Republicans own this company. This company needs to be investigated. All of my work, completely deleted because of some angry Trump person months ago.

All your rights are completely out the window on this site.

Decline in Quora
August 20, 2021

When Quora first came online, it was a great source of information, geared to those who want intelligent answers to intelligent questions. Now, it seems to accept every ridiculous question that anybody asks, and the answers are only as high-quality as the responders. For the past year, I've often opened Quora to a picture of some guy's penis or a woman's private parts. I used to be able to recommend the site to my grandkids who were looking for information about an educational topic. No more. I was enjoying it when intelligent questioners asked questions, and intelligent, knowledgeable people wrote interesting answers.

If you are on the right of say... Karl Marx, quora will hate you. They will downvote and report your answers until the moderators get fed up and ban you. They may BS you by babbling about their policies but all you have to do is spend a few months there and you'll see. All it amounts to is a popularity contest for leftists. If you've ever been to junior high school you'll get that vibe very fast.

I asked about an incident that occurred at an earlier office where I worked involving a female colleague. Both parties had faulted (me and her). Management sided with her and I had to resign. The company is mentioned in the book "The Man who pushed America to War". I couldnt get over the incident at the injustice. I asked this question on Quora about what I should have done, though it happened 7 years back. I asked anonymously of course. To my horror, the question was displayed publicly in my account. It could not be deleted, but I changed the qn. I had to delete my Quora account.
LESSON: Quora is not a place where you can ask advice for sensitive personal problems. They reveal identities without discretion. Stay safe. Stay out of Quora.

I had about 280 followers and over 20K answer views a month. They banned me for absolutely no reason other than I was supporting positions the liberal moderators didn't want to hear, and was gaining in popularity. Imagine you write over 2000 answers, are in their partner program (they invited me), and they ban you summarily just because they can. Then delete all of the content you have ever created. They allege to be a place to spread knowledge and information, but what they really are is a place to spread Democrat and liberal view points.
