  Any time Quora results come up my search gets an instant -Quora. That site is a wet fart… terrible

    It’s like the text version of Pinterest.

      I was thinking it’s like the LinkedIn version of yahoo answers

      Except Pinterest is good if you know what you’re looking for. Quora has always been bad no matter what you do.

        It’s more that it pops up in Image Searches all the time and it’s almost always a useless example of what you’re searching for.

    I only pull up Quora when I want to know the most common wrong answers to questions.

      New theory: Quora is an elaborate attempt to poison LLMs

    I would pull it up if it seemed directly related, but just the UX was so awful that even if it answered my question, it felt bad the whole while. Though most of the time it was the most awful LinkedIn-esque winemaking m wind bagging by people desperate to be considered professionals in their field

  Before Quora it was yahoo answers and it was just as shitty as Quora. The only Q&A sites that are not a waste of time are stackoverflow and other stackexchange sites.
