One thing I noticed back when I browsed Quora a lot is that most the answers were in direct opposition to the question being asked. It’s like clockwork.
Q: why is running so good for you
A: it actually isn’t good for you. <insert justification>
Q: why do so many people run when it’s so bad for you
A: it actually is really good for you. <insert justification>
Every single question seemed to be this way. It probably reveals a lot about human nature, but it really turned me off to know I was just reading knee jerk reactions to questions rather than anything accurate.
All this to say, yes, ragebait is the lifeblood of Quora.
