I used to laugh my ass off at some of those funny yahoo answers. Those were the days…

Quora’s mechanics have always drove me insane.

Before enshittification started it was a remarkable place to read great stuff al the time. The mechanics must have been good. Went downhill very fast sadly.

Must have been around 2000

Did you ask this in Quora as well, if you didn't then that is probably your answer. And if you did that is probably your answer too.

Quora pays for posting questions to some. So i would guess some good communities on reddit would stil be halfway good.

[–] oyfrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Depends on the question. In general, I ask my partner and she often doesn't know, so we quickly browse both reddit and quora for similar questions, laugh at the generally insane/inane responses that users often give, forget what we were doing and move on to something else.

Otherwise, I go for stack exchange and hope for the best.
