Quora

A Q&A website that was once considered somewhat useful, but is now seen as an incredibly toxic platform where nearly every question they email you about nowadays is from some obviously fake Karen.
I used Quora once… now they won’t stop emailing me about questions by ridiculously insane parents.

Quora

A place full of lowlife teenagers and adults living in basements always spouting their hateful views in their echo chambers called spaces, which is heavily dominated by leftist liberal users and censorship policies, where people ask questions they don't find answers of on any other platform.
— Hey, my comment on Quora just got deleted.
— What did you write?
— I said Donald Trump got nice hairs.

Trauma from Quora

The intellectual and moral vertigo induced by a platform that mixes genuine experts with unhinged fantasists, all presented with the same authoritative formatting. The trauma comes from the cognitive whiplash: a beautifully articulated answer by a Nobel laureate sits beside a 5000-word manifesto by a "former CIA psychic" on time travel. You waste hours down rabbit holes of plausibly-stated nonsense, start questioning basic facts, and develop a paranoid skepticism towards any declarative statement. The "Most Viewed Writer" badge becomes a symbol not of expertise, but of relentless, often unhinged, output.
Example: "She went to Quora for diet tips and emerged three hours later believing carbohydrates were a government plot, based on a 'top answer' from a 'nutritional philosopher.' She has Quora trauma—she now cross-references every piece of advice, no matter how simple, and mutters 'Source?' under her breath at dinner parties." Trauma from Quora
