You don't have to sign up to read Quora. The first search engine hit doesn't even mention that. If you click any further within Quora, you get that stupid sign-in dialogue, BUT! instead, you click your browser URL bar, type return again, and you can read the entry without account.

lolcube4374y@Fast-Nop yeah I know that but god damn it whyyyy??? :( I even wrote a tampermonkey script to get rid of it once haha

@lolcube Desperate try to make profit from a platform where the actual value comes from the users, and for free.
-
lolcube4374y@Fast-Nop yeah but can't they just display ads or something? How do they gain money by annoying people to the point of them hating to klick on a quora link? Or even signing up in the first place?
-
@lolcube Wait, that's long-term thinking. You don't learn that in MBA studies. MBA says, do whatever stupid short-term shit crosses your mind to boost profit next week. In this case, get people to sign up so that you can spam them.

The worst part about the reddit app is the search feature on it doesn't include profiles
-
Desktop version seems fine, The desperation to force people to use mobile app is common on all platforms, like Reddit, and even DevRant.

xakamo154yNow many social networks are revising their policies. they try to capture any user. Why is this?
-
xakamo154ythey are trying to control us through social networks, online platforms. We were forced to live online
I am not the only one that has ranted about this but it needs to be repeated: FUCK QUORA
Can't they just please go out of business already? Services that force you to sign up to read stuff are making me want to torture the company's decision makers slowly to death anyways. Also fuck reddit for promoting their absolute garbage app that adds ZERO value to the reddit experience other than bugs and really shitty loading times.
