Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 133 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people encountered unfair moderation, arbitrary account bans, and censorship, often without clear reasons. Reviewers frequently reported hate speech, political bias, fake profiles, and scammers, noting that their reports were often ignored. The overall quality of content and user experience has significantly declined, with many finding the platform filled with nonsense and a waste of time. Conversely, a small portion of people felt that the website's problems stemmed from a lack of human moderation, with unthinking bots often responsible for content removal and bans, and an ineffective appeal system.

Immaturity and apparent cronyism

Overall I don't think Quora is a terribly bad platform for young people, however I find it somewhat immature and annoying for myself .I don't like that it's always the first five or six entries in my Google searches. It seems like some cronyism and maybe other conflicts of interests.

I may have once or twice hit the like button on one of Quora's entries but nowhere near enough times to account for that much skewedness in my search results. I basically don't like Quora and I don't want to ever see it again.

I'm not too thrilled with this review entry form either. I'm trying to see if I spelled everything right and it really doesn't work if I can only see half of a sentence at one time. I guess I'll just have to repeatedly edit until I get all the way through it. That's pretty inefficient.

Most of the posters dont seem to give their references or provide a resource list. All I really see is a bunch of young people typing up their opinions and congratulating themselves on being right. That's a classic symptom of underclassmen in college. A lot of self-confidence and very little reason for it.

I have to admit I'm old and I'm pretty dry. I don't want a lot of drama in my search results. I don't want to have to read through 10 pages of other people's agony. I want to know if something works for them and how did they do it. If they don't have an answer to my question, I would prefer that they just didn't answer and leave room for other people to answer. (Well I'm rereading this and editing it because it doesn't look very nice to me at second glance. I must have had a pretty bad day when I wrote this. Of course everybody can write whatever they want to write I should want to encourage that. Just maybe I would prefer more scholarly articles instead of these results which are skewed toward a younger audience.)

I have to also admit that I'm afraid of online bullying. It can make me cry. It's made people I know suicide. So I try to avoid it at all costs. Like I said not to cast blame but maybe to encourage people to grow up a little bit before posting and maybe to encourage Google to grow up a little bit before making recommendations.

this is a bad website and can affect your mental health terribly.

the only reason i still use it is because of my friends on there. this website has a bunch of pedos and i am positive it IS run by pedos. i do not recommend and basically there's only pedos, bots that post fake pictures of them, and others. a lot of my friends have already left quora because of how badly quora affects their mental healths. i'm probably going to leave soon too . ive had quora since 2023 sometime in april but i havent just started using it again until back in august.

I visited quora first time

I visited quora first time. I wanted to find reliable astrologer. I found some amazing reviews. It looked paid. I engaged one of the astrologer but turned out to be a scam a fraud. I wrote a comment to all the great reviews but they were all deleted by Quora. I wanted to make others aware that they don’t fall victim to the same scam as I did. Quora is unreliable as it deleted all my comments. I believe they only promoted paid comments which are also unreliable.

Full of bullies

You would think this platform is to get help through questions and answers. Turns out if you ask something you get bullied by a bunch of middle age men with no better things to do. The users should really get moderated. Never using it again.

Fraude company

For more than a year now, I've been working for Quora on poe.com making chatbots. I'm not receiving money for all chats that users have with my chatbots. I'm unable to check if users really subscribed and which subscription they took. I just get a subscription pay and that's it, when the total amount must be higher based on my own advertising statistics. Following my own advertising statistics there must be more than 27000 users, and now even more, who at least clicked on my chatbot links over the whole year that this monetization has been going on. There is shown too little interaction on poe.com and it doesn't make any sense. It looks like you all think that we are fools and you take our extremely hard work for granted. This is slavery and severe exploiting of already poor and vulnerable people.

As a user

As a user, I find Quora can be frustrating at times. There’s a lot of good information, but it’s often buried under repetitive answers or off-topic comments. Plus, the quality of responses can vary, making it hard to find reliable insights quickly.

A great idea ruined by trolls and lack of fair moderation.

At the beginning of the first lockdown (UK) Quora seemed the perfect space for broadening the mind through exchange of well researched fact driven information (and opinion) outside of the mainstream ‘press’. I valued it as a tool for broadening my general knowledge and to practice my own written communication skills.

Then ‘top writers’ I was following began to evaporate (commonly claiming need to take a break from sustained ‘troll’ campaigns apparently focussed on seeing to it that their posts were deleted). There was a common assumption that human input was either entirely absent (at least until some formal complaint or challenge to an automated ‘decision’ had been made), and a hefty suspicion of bias in favour of the US Republican Party political agenda.

Then my own posts began being deleted too. In each case unfairly (in my view), most recently after calling out the Trump / Vance disinformation campaign with respect to Springfield OH (by way of providing fact checked links calling out out nefarious Republican claims of Haitian ‘illegals’ chucking their hosts pet cats and dogs onto the barbie as entirely bogus and counterproductive to constructive ‘debate’). I made two posts on the same thread - both were deleted long after I had written them without any explanation as to why other than ‘contrary to our spam policy’).

I had already discovered the ‘appeal’ process to meet with intransigence on behalf of the platform ‘management’ - although I did once (only) have a light humoured comment referring to the term ‘Faggots’ (as meaning a tasty plate of meatballs to lots of us Brits) restored. But it took a lot of effort.

Through this experience I came to agree with my departed top writers that the moderation process within the platform is ineffective, that devoting time to constructing well written and researched pieces was proving ‘not worth the bother’, that moderation decisions tend to be pro US Republican, (and also somewhat anti ‘Brit’), and the frustration of having to cope with content being summarily deleted thanks to sustained coordinated troll activity on the site just wasn’t worth the persevering with.

A major downside to my ‘dabble’ on the site: Quora had wormed its way into every corner of my online ’presence’ - Quora ‘results’ coming up first in every search for a good long while after I tried to dump the platform from my daily life. I actually have to now add ‘:-Quora’ to online searches to prevent this revolving door from spinning ad infinitum.

Deleting one’s user profile is easy enough, but there is a ‘cooling off’ period, during which if you return to the site you find yourself (equally summarily) ‘reinstated’ whether you intended to be - or not.

If it is possible to ‘hate’ a platform then I now hate Quora. It is a very good ‘test dummy’ for those who want to prove to themselves that exposing oneself online comes with negative consequence. I have read numerous reports also of Quora digital security being somewhat ‘under par’ as well.

The trolls have won.

(Proceed with caution - and install a good quality VPN).

Quora is filled with trolls who are out…

Quora is filled with trolls who are out to spread hate and misinformation. It's really too bad, it could be a place for intelligent people to share information and ideas but Quora is the farthest thing from that. Filled with stupid questions from trolls intended to elicit outrage and emotional responses and people who are stupid enough to oblige them. A total waste of time.

Quora user for 8 yrs

Quora user for 8 yrs.
Following several postings challenging conspiracy misinformation, lies, and deceitful postings concerning hurricane Helene and FEMA response, my account was suddenly banned.
No notice nor warnings from Quora of any misconduct. Account simply banned and closed.

This platform seemingly thrives now in this mode of operations.
Sad, it used to be quite an appealing platform

Resigned my Quora account - too many trolls

When I first joined Quora roughly 7-8 years ago I found several very interesting and well-written threads on physics and computer science. Starting about 2 years ago however Quora seemed to be taken-over by posters with no interest in the sciences but rather trolls with ideological or political axes to grind or people claiming to have astronomically high IQs. Apparently these "geniuses" didn't get Stephen Hawking's memo stating that "People who boast about their IQ are losers". Also on the increase is a fascination bordering on obsession with all things Third Reich. Yes, WWII is a historical fact and painful lessons must be recorded BUT I don't need to see threads about Nazi bordellos complete with salacious photos! In any event I resigned my Quora account.
