walking mirage

convinced that it’s only people asking questions, any “answer” you get shown just seems like it’s a related question run through a transformer to statement-ise it

I think all of Quora is like that, just nutjobs trying to push an agenda or high schoolers trying to get answers for an assignment.

Quora is a strong example of how society relentlessly builds sprawling, artificial structure on top of anything. We already had Yahoo Answers to tell us what to do when we are gregnate. It worked! But no, Quora had to institutionalize it, and now we have dubious credentials and huge, confident essays, so long and complicated, they must be experts! But underneath it all it’s still gregnate. So much effort wasted when gregnate is enough.

Most comment sections, especially Reddit feel the same way. It's a creative writing project where the prompt is the comment above yours.

The emails I get from Quora always seem to include at least one "my teen isn't cooperating with the horrendous way I'm trying to abuse them, what should I do" question. I sincerely hope those questions are all fake and exist entirely to farm engagement.

quora is for microdosing what the cia did to the unabomber at your own leisure
