Quora has become.. weird for me. I used to love the site, but now 80% of the answers that come up in my feed feel creepy as fuck.

It's a shame because it used to be of such high average quality.

I'm sure it's a classic case of my clicks at low agency moments driving the algorithm to deliver what low-agency-me wants, but I just wish it wasn't so keen to drive the trash towards me.

I think Quora bubbles a little too hard. I got stuck in a gun-rights bubble. I had to just walk away entirely.

So just FYI - if it seems really creepy, Quora might have just decided that's your thing, to the detriment of all else.
