Thoughts on Quora?

No, no thoughts whatsoever

I use it from time to time. It's kind of similar to Reddit, but with fewer cross-dressing communist pedophiles, which is nice.

There is one thing about Quora that irritates me. So many of the answers start with this little preamble about how the question is actually stupid and how no one actually involved with the subject matter would ask such a question. Then, the response will go on to provide a perfectly reasonable answer, demonstrating that the question was not in fact stupid.

Like, say you ask something about the Marines, and a Marine answers. On Quora, it's apparently not enough of a flex just to be a Marine and thus know the answer to the question. The questioner must also be told that he's too stupid to even ask an intelligent question about the Marines.

I don't get it. I've even started commenting on such answers telling the poster something like "you did the thing!"

Eh, Quora has more pedophiles than Reddit does.

That's impossible. There's a literal pedophile community in Florida that somehow has fewer pedophiles per capita than Reddit. Like, there's one guy there that just mows the grass and isn't an actually a pedophile and he knocks them into second place.
