Why I Quit Quora
![quora.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNSPfXFqmUCNf3DyorXPG4oEGzcrQnUXSzzv1BQSyrKCU/quora.png)


 Just like with YouTube, Facebook and Google, I don't like predatory monopolies that gang together to wipe people from the face of the internet. Much respect to Everipedia, listen to the reasons why Wikipedia isn't the route we want to go down when talking about history. Think about it; Google has the power to change history, skew search results, favor different views than others. This is scary shit, and blockchain is here to fix all of that.

I am a believer in if you buidl enough value, the universe will find you and come knocking on your door, even if you live in the middle of nowhere. It is the value effect, if you get one person, that person will tell two friends. Those two friends tell two friends, and thus the snowball grows. This is where I first found Quora. I needed an outlet to express myself, and while doing so as a by-product, I was helping people. It all started when I lost 100 pounds in 4 months. I never was a writer, never read books (I listen to audiobooks) and learned by going with what I innately knew. When writing it is usually a mess, but with products like Grammarly, a nice haircut and clean clothes and my writing is good to go. I found Quora, #GodsPlan, and I saw someone asking: "How to lose weight quickly?" I thought, "Hmm, I know how to lose weight quickly!" I went on to write a very detailed, step by step guide on how I lost the weight. The answer took off, starting getting thousands of views, then tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands. So, I kept writing, kept expressing myself. There were no boundaries; nothing was off limits, my closet and all of my skeletons were on display. I could care less; I was offloading everything in my head, others found my junk useful. 

 Quora is a compelling place; people go there to find answers to tough questions. I was browsing through reading replies, and I noticed one of my answers was collapsed by a Quora mod, without explanation. I wrote to them, said it was an error and it took them three months to uncollapse my answer. "Hmm... that was weak" I thought to myself. Then I noticed that I was not the only one, many people where getting their answers collapsed, deleted, and then people even started getting temporarily banned from the site. Quora is a newer website and is/was a small website; now it is creeping up to become a real force in this world. This is a place people will look for answers, and if a centralized party behind closed doors can censor those answers without any explanation, that is not a road that leads to freedom. I believe the bigger these websites get, the more vulnerable to government interference they become. Companies like Apple sue the government for trying to leach customer data from Apple devices, of course, the government wins every time. Just look at Facebook, it is a government controlled shit show, and Zuks has about as much control of Facebook as Dr. Victor Frankenstein had over his creation.  

 It's funny when I first started on Quora in one of my answers I stated a goal of mine was to become a top writer. At the time, I never really thought it would happen. However, once I became a top writer I got to asking the question of who elected me? Moreover, why? The process of selecting top writers is also centralized and controlled by Quora. As we can see, centralized social media sites start off innocent, but it is all a trust game for the content producers because the ball is always in Quora's court and the game is a private one. I just got tired of pouring my heart into content, helping grow a beast that one day will feast on us all. Social media is not a joke or some small thing, human communication is the most critical aspect of life, without it we are back in the stone ages. However, what is worse then no contact, is deceptive communication. When the information becomes skewed, and people can't tell wrong from right, truth from false, propaganda from reality, we set a dangerous precedent moving forward. 

 I have no issues walking away from a platform that is in threat of becoming apart of the predatorial monopolies of the world. Also, while I don't think Quora is quite yet there, give it a few more years, and we will see people being shadow banned, straight up banned and censored just like we are seeing on all the big centralized social media sites today. 

 If you BUIDL it they will come. I now have a haven in the form of the Steem Blockchain and now feel at home. Be the change you wish to see in the world... I introduce you to QAS - Question Answer Site - And it will be a free airdrop 1-1 for Steemit Hodlers. I will be creating it as an SMT. Website and whitepaper to be released soon. QAS will be a decentralized Question & Answer website built on a blockchain, and it will live right here on the Steem Blockchain.

EDIT: Thanks to people commenting I have become aware of musing.io, which is a Q&A website on the Steem Blockchain. I will check it out and reach out to the developers to see if I can help in anyway.

Although i haven't used Quora myself I've been a big fan of r/askreddit and half of my 100k comment karma probably comes from there. That's why I sometimes like to create the #asksteemit posts. Good luck with this or teaming up with musing! 

If you have any other ideas or want to throw some around and team up to fund them I can be found on Steem.chat under the same username. I'm usually the guy with the ideas but not the willpower to follow through, based on your posts I've read/watched - you might complete me. :P

I posted 2 post last week on Quora after not using the site for 4 months. Then the next day I received an email that 8 of my answers was deleted! 

I plan not using this site anymore!

Looking forward to QAS @dhenz.

Funny thing is I've never come across the term BUIDL until your post now:)

Who wants quora when have musing.io :-)

On a serious note - Last year I made an registered at quora and answered a few questions and in return a few of them were answered for me. I'll be truthful here, quora started to feel like an expensive hobby after a few days. You waste tons of time answering questions and for your efforts you get nothing...... literally

If Quora just been a matter of posting casual replies then it might not have been a problem. But the use of that platform is based on having your questions answered - and real answers need some work. There is no way such a platform can function without incentives.

Congratulations @dhenz sir.. blockchain is a interesting project...A block chain [1] [2] is the chain of blocks which are constantly expanded record lists, which are connected and protected by cryptography; The nature of each block is such that it consists of a cryptographic structure of the previous block, and a timely and functional information [3].

It is structurally structured with information and procedural information to prevent data disarming and it is an open-ended database that can record verifiable and reliable process. [4] For the purpose of using a shared database, a blockchain is a natural way to organize peer-to-peer networks. A process in which management is done The new block is associated athe for verification ... Best of luck... #upvote and #resteemit done sir

The more options the better.  When I am force fed a curated ideology it makes me feel dirty,  regardless of whether or not I agree about certain aspects of it.

>Quora is a compelling place; people go there to find answers to tough questions. 

I actually do that as well. There are great people with great comments. Sometimes I actualy wish we have more comments like in Quora here. Sometimes I wonder, why are these people still using Quora? Why aren’t they moving to steemit platform. 
>Then I noticed that I was not the only one, many people where getting their answers collapsed, deleted, and then people even started getting temporarily banned from the site.

😱 Now this is the first time I’ve heard of when it comes to Quora. Perhaps because I’ve never been active user, just occasionally. 
Your loss of 100 pounds proves your determination. It’s all connected. Someone not being a quitter, never quits anything until he reaches his goal. I’m not a quitter either.
> I introduce you to QAS - Question Answer Site - And it will be a free airdrop 1-1 for Steemit Hodlers. I will be creating it as an SMT. 

👍Looking forward to it! Hopefully overall SMTs will be coming soon!

Had no idea musing.io was a thing. Going to check that out in a minute. I really like discovering those neat alternatives to certain existing, degrading centralised platforms. DTube was one I've been needing to upload something to and really test out.

This post will probably be downvoted and hidden by berniesanders because he seems to be having some fun downvoting all my posts and comments, so it's probably not worth upvoting this comment like you did the others.

you have the idea, took lots of actions, add value to others finding answers and gotten the results. awesome ! looking forward to the QAS. 
suggestion before the QAS, probably every fri or any day of the week, you can make a post and let reader ask you questions. like #askdan #askdanhensley 

Q : how did you make your first pot of gold ? And what are the 5 key ingredients of getting the results.

Awesome piece Dan. I’m glad to see you’re making the change over to decentralized media. Our world is slowing being censored by those with power and we are taking back that power for a free and open internet where we can’t be censored.

I agree that slowly you can see that certain people are using it more and more of a marketing tool rather than giving honest answers. It's a shame you quit Quora though, as having someone who is honest and giving great. unbiased responses is what the platform is about.

I think a lot of us feel the same way about feeling Steemit is a safe haven, more people just continue to build even with low market values for the exact reason you said of “if you build they will come!!”

If you build it they will come! I read your intermittent fasting post on Quora over a year ago. I was like this dude is just like me, he tells how it is, likes crypto and intermittent fasting (been on it for 7 years)... I had to follow ya! 😂

Nice, I never seen this one before! I have my own vision for QAS and it will have a unique twist that separates it from the rest.

Sorry, just read your last para properly. Didn't mean to stomp on your parade. There's room for more I'm sure. Were you aware of musing? Apologies!

[Social media](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-social-media) is going to change with [Web 3.0](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-web-3-0).  This is why [censorship resistant](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-censorship-resistance-blockchain) [blockchains](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/blockchain) are vital. 

Most focus upon [cryptocurrency](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/cryptocurrency) not realizing the impact of it.

Since you were a top writer on Quora you might be well positioned to bring more content creators over to the Steem community. We need more great writers!

Hello @dhenz, 

Congratulations on this new free speech site you have created. I knew that all these censorship of freedom of speech going on different centralized social media platforms will give rise to the creation of decentralised platforms that will promote free speech. 

Big ups.
