Any time I search something on the internet there is at least one result from Quora that is fash as fuck. Like every top answer is always some anti-communist or bio truth shit. Why are they like this?

    I knew a coworker who was trying hard to establish a personality on that site. I am pretty sure it's filled with people who answer questions not to be correct, but to play the Quora algorithm. Upvote-chasing psychology mixed with slot machine psychology. So people just give answers that sound like TED talks, except they have no idea what they're talking about.

    Unfortunately, by default, people's lay understanding is the hegemonic explanation for everything which comes out fashy.

      :jordan-eboy-peterson: used to be a power poster on Quora before he became well known so that definitely checks out.
