After Twitter, Indians Are Turning Quora Into A Political Cesspool
27 Dec 2018 1:32 PM GMT
Quora turns up on search queries for most political subjects, yet its use for politics has flown mostly under the radar.
- As the country prepares for the 2019 general elections, Quora shows us how political interests are not leaving any part of the Internet untouched in their push for dominance.
- Like many Indians on Quora, Viswanathan is a true-blue techie—Google analytics shows Quora is most popular around cities with famous engineering colleges, like Pilani and Roorkee.
- In his own posts, Viswanathan said, he isn’t expressing an opinion, but rather, researching his answers through multiple sources, because he enjoys the conversations the platform enables, and wants to contribute positively.
- Quora is, to Viswanathan, a place to think about things other than work, and to make new friends—going so far as to hire some people whom he met through the site.
- Previously, answers on Quora were written on the base of evidence, facts and analytics.
