What is Quora? Are there any tips?

However quora has realized it gets way more web traffic by keeping people arguming in meaningless disagreement, because it creates a back and forth, bringing you to the site far more often than you would seek advice. Upon realizing this they capitalized on it by creating troll bots who purposely ask stupid questions that are consistently 1. Based on an easily defeated premise 2. Worded to insult the people that it's targeting. 3. Directed specifically at people who will disagree with it. This is why you get questions like “ why won't gun nuts accept that Im going to take their weapons if they like it or not?”. Which specifically gets sent to people flagged as pro gun, who the. Answer it as if it was a real question, and it's also answered by other pro gun people so all of the comments tend to agree with their answer. By making the question really easy to refute it allows even dumb people to feel like they are winning an argument and that their input is valid. Causing them a little spike of self esteem, which is reinforced by the other pro gun people up voting and commenting in agreement to their answer. That little ego boost makes people keep coming back. Because who doesn't like validation? But Dems are never going to see those same questions because they are tagged differently in the algorithm, so instead they will see something like “ why do these shemale college kids expect me to pay for their college, it's not going to help me any?” To which they all get to call the person asking ( that is actually a troll bot) a bigot and a phobe and argue that by getting free college they will be able to provide more nursing care which will mean that more old people will not have to be neglected when they get older.

Quora is the corpse of an advice forum. Once upon a time it was a place where people would ask questions of any sort, such as “why is the moon tidal locked to earth And locked in orbit, what are the odds of that happening?” Or simple things like “ how do I get rust off a bike chain” and people would reply to those questions with answers, which would get up votes and occasionally comments that added to the answer.

It makes sense right? Everyone gets validation and to feel like they are engaging in a community where they are heard and influencing the world. Unfortunately in reality the only people that ever hear your reply are people that already have the same opinion so your really just reinforcing each other bias and creating echo chambers. This serves to create people that completely fail at analysing things for themselves and recognizing relevant factors. So they end up just accepting whatever their preferred news outlets tells them to believe. If they don't watch a news outlet then they consume Media by people that do and end up passively absorbing their biases. What's neat is that certain entities have seen how addictive and manipulative such a business model can be and have started using it to target children. For the purpose of just actively scrambling their brains and damaging their development. These are the same entities that cause 50% of the baby food on the market to contain heavy metals that are proven to severely reduce IQ as the person grows up. They also do things like flood them with what looks like random nonsense meme type material, but in actuality is designed specifically to cause psychological trauma to children. If your unfamiliar try this experiment yourself. Go over and find the lyrics for a song popular with children called” harpy hare” by yaelokr. Copy the lyrics and paste them into chat got of Gemini and ask it to analyse them for their likely effect on children who listen to it repeatedly. There are quite a few things like that. It is part of what they call 5th generation warfare. Where you poison the body and minds of Your opponent and their children, that way your children will grow up to find that your enemy doesn't offer any real competition and are easily defeated. It's working really well. Better than anyone outside of the Pentagon realizes.
