Google Perspectives will highlight results from Quora? That's the last thing I want.

Dear God, i hope that's not true. Quora answer quality is probably worse than Yahoo answers; at least those were just shit posts, 90% of Quora answers are ads by the creator of some project in my experience

Yeah the quora answers are just advertising

Even when someone was asking about something for free that they'd not have to pay for some fucking idiot would come in selling something

It's typically either that or some conspiracy theorist screeching about how the Uyghur genocide is a CIA psyop or that the (((psychopaths))) are trying to take over the world or something. Or some random who has little to no experience in a subject acting like they know everything about it. Or some abuser who should be on a watchlist who thinks that children axiomatically evil until the evil is beaten out of them. Those people are terrifying. ~Nai
