With Quora I learned how real filter bubbles are. During the 2016 elections I used to click on a lot of anti-trump questions. The site painted me a picture that trump was a "joke" and that he no one seriously believe he had a "chance". I was genuinely chock he started winning the primaries.. and then the elections. Looking back I still can't believe that I was so out of touch with reality. I haven't use Quora since them. Nowadays I actively try to ignore Quora when it shows up in search result. But when don't the answers are often short and wrong, or blatant self promotion.

For what it's worth, despite the very strong liberal bias on Quora, (I worked for Quora 2012-2014), they tried very hard to reduce bias from their feed algorithms and tried to remain very neutral in rankings and distribution.

I think there was a conservative chilling effect that went above and beyond what they could have done to help.
