One weird problem that's similar to this is that Quora is starting to get a lot of answers from India and Pakistan about relationship questions. So I'm reading these Quora questions and people are talking about their horrible arranged marriages in Pakistan or wherever. Sure, there are people who speak English outside of the U.S, but they don't have to show up in my feed.

I've noticed that as well, not about arranged marriages specifically but a ton of of ultra naive questions about relationships like, "Why do guys change their mind about a girl that they liked?", and "How do I know a girl is right for me?" (sic).

Those were literally the first two from my feed just then.

I used to find Quora interesting but it just has so much of this low-quality spam on it now.

For my feed it's all that or military stuff, which I do find interesting on occasion, so I do see why that's there.

I wonder if it's just our feeds or if the whole of Quora is like that.

I am an Indian and I concur. I honestly don't remember the last time I visited Quora since then.

right?!?! I found quora quite interested. But latetly seems like spammers kinda gamed the system. I same same people answering questions. Most of the answers and questions are probably fake / oversexualised. Stopped visting that site
