Why I Stopped Answering Questions on Quora

As a person, I have chosen to step back from answering questions on Quora for several reasons. Many of the questions I encounter are repetitive, often revolving around controversial topics such as the evolution/creation debate or the theist/atheist discussions. These questions frequently seem designed to elicit a reaction rather than to foster a genuine dialogue. Additionally, there are some inquiries that are so fundamentally uninteresting that a simple internet search would yield all the information needed. I believe Quora should not be a platform where laziness replaces academic research, but rather a place where profound and meaningful questions can be posed and conversations can evolve.

Strategies and Personal Insights

Through a process of trial and error, I discovered that I receive more views and generate better reactions when I choose to answer questions in character. This approach not only highlights my participation but also transforms my responses into unique and engaging content. For instance, I have found that answering as a cheetah breaks the monotony and captures attention, encouraging readers to engage with the content on a different level.

The Impact of Online Interactions

There are individuals who use Quora to disrupt and control the flow of information. Some people, claiming to practice astral projection, attempt to prevent others from answering questions. This, in my view, is an attempt to silence critics and maintain a monopoly on discussion. They are often envious of those who volunteered to help and provide valuable input. I, for one, had a vested interest in the platform as a life coach and master practitioner. However, this group, which I believe is involved in a cult, asserts their superiority due to their perceived lack of mastery in these areas.

The abuse I have endured from these individuals is relentless. They have caused physical harm to me and their intentions are clear: they wish to influence my thoughts and actions to extend their own life spans. Furthermore, these individuals have gone to the lengths of using Quora to threaten and exploit people, including myself and others with families, to make their manipulation appear justified. It is evident that their motives are not noble, and they lack any genuine empathy or understanding.

A Call for Digital Civility

I am weary of the ongoing harassment and the attempts to silence voices that do not align with their narrative. It is important to strive for a digital environment that encourages meaningful conversations and respects all participants. Quora, at its best, can be a platform for deep and insightful dialogue; it should not be a place for manipulation, threats, or physical harm. We must reclaim the digital space to promote positivity and genuine human interactions.

For those who continue to engage in Quora, I implore you to consider the impact of your words and actions. Do they foster a sense of community or do they contribute to harmful behavior? Let us collectively work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful online environment where everyone can contribute to the greater discourse.

Remember, digital civilization begins with each of us. Let's strive to be the change we wish to see online.
