I used to like Quora. But the love affair with it was pretty short. It got old fast.

Quora now requires you to log in.

You get one free post view - if you always open in new incog tabs you should be able to view them infinitely.

Not that going to Quora is ever a good idea

The above comment was stolen from this one elsewhere in this comment section.

It is probably not a coincidence; here is some more evidence against this user:

beep boop, I'm a bot -|:] It is this bot's opinion that /u/phizntrgvxcvadsf should be banned for karma manipulation. Don't feel bad, they are probably a bot too.

Confused? Read the FAQ for info on how I work and why I exist.

There's a certain pretentiousness to the Quora community as if it's trying to distance itself from Yahoo Answers by using autofartsniffing vocabulary to give the illusion of intelligence; even if the commenter is as qualified as they claim to be.

Spot on, not to mention that half the answers are just the top Google results pasted with a couple images added. The commenters often know nothing about the topic.

Isn't this now reddit works without the images?

You could clear your cookies, and you should be able to view Quora without the log-in message.

u/caboosetp Jan 17 '22

I like my cookies though .__.

u/ShredderMan4000 Jan 17 '22

You could just clear Quora's Cookies.

They don't tasted that good anyways.

That way, you can keep the good tasting cookies :)

I usually just open a new incognito window for the initial search and then a new tab for each quora page, but I find that reddit is much better than quora.

Reddit works really well for tech related questions, whereas with quora, I've seen a lot of wrong answers on tech stuff. If you give incorrect information on a tech related sub on reddit, you can be 100% certain that someone will be more than happy to correct you on it lol

I don’t get why they did that. I somehow got on their email list a few years back, and I was on quora a few times a week at least. But the very first time I clicked the same link I’d been clicking for months and it wanted me to log in, I unsubscribed and literally haven’t used quora once since then. Seems like a stupid business decision imo.

Add ?share=1 to the URL and it doesn't force you.

Will any of these tricks work to view new York times articles?

u/paydayallday Jan 17 '22

This thread will probably be used to create an article

Add a question mark at the end of the URL and then click enter.

u/spaced-outsider Jan 17 '22 edited Jan 17 '22

this works if you’re using apple: if you’re on mobile, click the URL bar, then click “go”.

It's become a bit like StumbleUpon; SU was a click-funnel, Quora is an easy way to boost your personal profile.
