    Yes let’s put a site that consists pretty much entirely of user-created content behind a paywall, what could possibly go wrong?

      Well, Spez is a special kind of stupid.

        I think people who are content with Reddit being the way it is deserve someone like Spez.

      Quora did it. I don’t go there anymore.

        Don’t lie. When 70% of your search results are Quora, you are going to click, you are going to encounter the login banner, you are going to rage, and you are going to click away.

          Nope, those “answers” didn’t help even once, so now they’re filtered out of search results, and DNS banned. Quora does not appear on my devices.

            I’ve had some help from Quora, but overall I feel it wastes my time a lot more than not. And I’ve never had an instance where only Quora had the answer.

          Even when the login banner doesn’t appear, lately all the answers are “Hm, it appears that you are trying to do [question title]. To do [question title], [basic bitch advice]. Hope this helps!” Style AI slop.
          When it isn’t the built-in AI helper doing it, it’s the users blatantly copying from different chatbots
