Basically Quora.
Quora started to pay people to ask questions, rather than reward the people who put efforts into answering.
I skipped that stupid thing instantly.
"I caught my 12 year old son playing Minecraft so I smashed all his things and beat him. Was I wrong?"
That was roughly one of the so-called questions I saw on Quora recently. Absolute garbage.
Well they get paid to ask absolute garbage so you'll see oodles of these shitty "questions"
That explains why content quality over there is so damn bad, I didn't know about that before since I skipped the Quora train.
I used it for some time before, since it was just people asking questions and doubts and curiosities.
But once this paid stupidity started, it was adios time.
