Please see the posted video above. It's very clear how Quora forwards me to sign up page right after I open the link on Google.

I never tapped on anything after I got to that page.

The behavior that you guys are suggesting is mostly how it works on Desktop computers. Try searching for the same on Mobile phones.

PS: Also, do you really expect users to alter the link on tiny mobile screens?

I saw your video. It looks like you are in the middle of a, probably accidental, new account signup. Maybe you let your kid use your phone weeks ago and she did it. If you clear your cookies then you should get the behavior above.

I don't "expect" users to do anything, I was sharing a known workaround in case anyone was interested.

EDIT: I just created an account to see what happens. You are logged into a new account. Maybe you accidentally logged in with Google?

I created a new account with a fake name and email. No email verification. After the fake name and email is entered they ask you to follow topics (which is the screenshot you are seeing) and once you pick 10 your account is "complete" and they will let you look at the answer.
