Quora pays thousands for posting questions

I dunno. I’ve noticed my feed now contains more and more ads.

And posts out of order. And posts on repeat.

It’s clearly no longer the simple service which simply shows me the latest images posted by those I follow.

It’s now a site I can tell is trying to game me, and that’s such a turn off.

Facebook had that moment where they crossed a line and that was when I stopped posting. Instagram too is getting close.

They shouldn’t push their luck.

Funny thing is a lot of those ads aren't even paid for, wannabe influencers post ads now to make themselves look like they are being paid to post ads, to eventually get paid to post ads.

Wow. This is madness on a whole different level. I hadn't thought of this angle.

Next up: advertisers making deals with wannabe influencers to post ads for free, to give the influencer "exposure" to help them get paying ad deals in the future. The usual art business climate.
