The moderators persistently delete almost every comment they find as being conservative, without any reason. Same way, they ban every conservative person, at some point, if they see that it doesn't convert itself to the left wing. At the same time, left wingers can write whatever they want. They can insult, terrorize, even call to lynch you, and the moderators do nothing against it. I suggest that every even slightly conservative person stays away from Quora, it is a cesspool of SJWs, hypocritical communists and left wing moderators with god complex.

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.

Corrupt, racist, run by indian scammers, and alt-leftist neo nazi friendzoned soy boys who's only power to feel adequate in life is to call anyone who disagrees with their brain dead chickenhead opinions as racist "white supremacy" I've never been called a white supremacist so often as a Muslim, than as I have been by the racist alt-leftist terrorists.

There is a lot of anti-Western propoganda on Quora and for the most part, the site seems to be okay with it. Most of it comes from Chinese bloggers who often use pseudo-English names. It is very misleading information and one does wonder how Chinese could be blogging on an American site without permission from the CCP.

I cant tell the amount of disprect I got when Quroa members would answer questions. Not to mention I had felt that there was bias against me there. I explained that I both have a disability and am poor and people would still be mean

I love Quora it is so much fun and you get to give your opinions on peoples questions. Some are kind of obvious but others can be interesting and so much fun. They have all kind of different segments and most anybody can find something they are interested in.

Quora thought Police
September 21, 2021

This site is ridiculous. It asks people for opinions and answers to questions but then censors your answers to death because what they really want is mindless drones who parrot and support the status quos and Agendas. Quora is a terrible Joke and the people behind it are way too frail to run a site like that. I only gave them 1 star because you have to give at least one but this site doesn't deserve any stars at all.

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.

I used Quora for quite some time. I basically wrote answers based on personal experiences. I had answer views in the millions. One day I logged in and saw there was a message from the Quora moderation (Bots?) team informing me I had violated their BNBR (Be nice, be respectful) policy. I checked my answer that supposedly violated Quora's policy, but I had done nothing wrong. The question was on how long the campaign on an upcoming video game was. I politely replied that the game was not due for release for another month, and the campaign time will vary from person to person. I ended my answer with "I'm looking forward to it myself. Happy gaming!". Really? So that violates the BNBR policy? And as of late, many of Quora's top writers with millions of followers have suddenly had their answers collapsed. Many are speculating that Quora is using it's political bias to quash users who don't meet their political ideology. After a couple of months of quitting Quora, I just received an email from them literally begging me to come back. Nope. I was in the Quora Partner Program and had maybe $40 on my books at Quora, but walked away from it. I didn't join to make money, I joined to share and gain knowledge. The death knell for Quora was the QPP. It encouraged a bunch of kids to make accounts and post literally 1000s of versions of the same question daily to make a few cents (Template questions). It should have been the other way around... pay people for ANSWERING question, not asking! Bye Quora!

This was an okay and decent informational site at one time. Now there are many mean comments to sincere questions, fake identities, and people present their opinions as facts. Some answers are good and contributors excellent, but too many people are hateful, give their opinion as fact and now it is a mess.

If you want to communicate with a bunch of bot moderators then Quora is an ideal place to visit.
If you want to be bombarded with questions like "Which way is up?" then this bot driven platform is just perfect.

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.

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.

Fake and fraud
August 20, 2021

I got a call on my phone regarding a freelance job from quick jobs. They offered a job in which i have to complete ******* captcha in 8days for this they are paying 22k and for this they conduct a video interview and ask name address and phone number mentioned in resume. And after this they manipulate you with fake guidance and also they make a paper and have to singned it and while signing they will be on call continuously disturbing you to sing in asap and not making you to read it and gave you a wbsite, with id password where you have to complete your work and submit it. But they show the wrong readings. And now they are harassing me to pay 5400rs for not completing the work. But before joing they told me if i was unable to complet the work they will cut my salary in which i was ok. But now they are blackmailing me to pay 5400rs. Dont ever take this calls and immediately complain about these calls.

Ok but not amazing
August 2, 2021

Quora is an okay app if you just want a quick answer for a question however it in general is not a app I would recommend for 100% accurate information, it's essentially the new Yahoo answers, it's filled with Trolls and Propoganda, anyone can type a horrible answer and get 1.1K upvotes, if you say anything against either India or China you will have tons of Chinese (Mostly) or Indian Nationalists typing angry replies and ironically enough getting hundreds of upvotes, meanwhile you can rant and rave about how evil the West is and get 1.1K Upvotes in a few days. If you say anything about CCP your answer will get downvoted and deleted, while if you say something about how amazing the CCP/Communism is you will get 1.1K upvotes and hundreds in the comments mentioning how evil Capatlism and the West is, they don't even prove there point, there point is more like "If you don't like what I have to say, then your brainwashed by WeStErN MeDiA" and your racist even worse than Hitler!. Occasionally there are even Nazi Apologists and Stalin Apologists and others who justify actions of undoubtedly evil dictator's. As for other answers they can range to helpful to straight out Propoganda and the Quora comments are as well regulated as Yahoo Answers was before it shut down (Needless to say it's a mess), overall if you want to use Quora use it but Don't expect to be too amazed when using it.
