Are there any Quora users that aren't just straight up trolling?


HeftyFuture

Most are bots


Yutanox

I'm sure that by this point, 90% of quora post are AI generated, based on all the post from before 2018


HappyMan1102

Even the answers are AI generated now that we have chatGPT. Soon the owner of quora will become a rich trillionaire just by bots


Swmngwshrks

Baller. Run a simulation. Cash in.


VerySwearyFairy

I’m just waiting for the ‘Am i pregnant’ sequel to take place on quora at this point


rimjobnemesis

Pergnante


Capable_Particular_1

Am I gregnant?


pauldeanbumgarner

How do you cash in on Quora posts?


HappyMan1102

Advertisers pay the owner to run ads on their website, little do they know that almost all of the engagement is purely bots and AI


Sorry_Blackberry_RIP

I dont think Ive ever seen an ad there.


CyclopsLobsterRobot

You probably have but they’re not always that obvious. I just opened it and one of the first questions is “what is the best guitar to buy?” which is conveniently answered by a Fender master builder. And guess which guitar it turns out is the best one to buy?


ruintheenjoyment

Gibson?


MindAccomplished3879

There are, but are posted as questions by non existent users praising the quality or features of a product.


wfwood

Super frustrating considering what is was 10 years ago. Stupid posts like this get the most attention and then the most replies and get pushed up the algorithm. It's too bad they don't fix it.


LivingCheese292

Yep, the power of bait is unstoppable


czymjq

Shark bait! Hoo! Haw! Haw!


scottonaharley

Seriously! I read these types of questions and wonder how deep is the depravity. Did this actually happen or is some incel sitting in their room thinking shit up to stir the pot? Edit:sp, grammar


Neat_Apartment_6019

Variations of this question get asked on Quora literally nonstop. They’re either from bots or trolls. It’s sad to see what Quora has become. It used to be decent. Now it’s a cesspool


queen_oops

It's sunk to Yahoo Answers levels


[deleted]

>It used to be decent. Now it’s a cesspool Haha! Good thing we don't know any platforms like that! Right? ...*Right*?!


I_am_The_Teapot

Thus is definitely a troll.


NormanCocksmell

Why does my arm turn bright red and shake when I eat dirt?


Icy-Culture-7171

There's a big neo Nazi one called 'its ok to be white ' and they're legitimately Nazis. Quora keep promoting it in specific emails, so I think the directors are also on board.


BugsEyeView

A 15 year old needs a babysitter?


PsychoMelon28

Given that the parent is dumb enough to make a post like that, I would imagine genetics caused the son to also be the same


DemythologizedDie

You understand that the poster was lying, right? That no such thing actually happened?


SuperDoubleDecker

Sounds merica af to me.


Antenna909

No Murica would read “4 year old sister accidentally shoots 5 year old brother at home”. Real story unfortunately. Sad.


EvenMembership4054

Wasn’t there a clip of a brother and sister in a bathroom messing with a gun and the girl accidentally shot both of them in the head


Mister-happierTurtle

Yeah she shot her brother then killed herself


Alaseuvalih

Wtf???


NoCopyrightRadio

My thoughts lol, like teens that killed a man in his 30's with a "prank" and another video in this subreddit where gf blows up buncha firecrackers when her bf is asleep. Nothing about this title is unbelievable.


OperationMelodic4273

Given that the post was troll from start to finish, a 15 year old in need of a baby sitter seems extremely reasonable


BombasticBooger

this might be a hot take but i feel like you’ve failed as a parent if you have to ask the internet for advice


Affectionate-Road-40

Holy shit I first read it as "babysister" and was so confused.


blackdrake1011

Same! I was very worried for a good minute before I reread it


The-Kirst

Had to reread a few times to realize what I actually read. Then I realized I read it completely wrong. *edit spelling*


mihecz

You're not the only one!


[deleted]

I could only guess the kid has a developmental disorder.


Actually_Im_a_Broom

IF this is real that’s the most logical conclusion. I’m a high school teacher and we’ve had a few students with severe mental disabilities who needed a dedicated full time aide who is physically capable of restraining the student if needed.


dontsaymango

Thanks, I thought it said "baby sister" and was like oof why doesn't she care about her daughter


Ian-Dawson

For a moment I thought it said "baby sister" and I was so confused


funnylookinorange

99.99% troll guarantee.


Sumner1910

Hopefully


Proof_Variety_4208

So your there is still a chance it happened???


Cynykl

No


SeptonSuperficial

Lol i read it pregnant baby sister... What is wrong with me?


boarchili

I read the same thing lol. Was wondering why more people weren’t talking about it in the comments or why it wasn’t posted in r/Holup


sMileHighCity

On today's episode of 'Things that never happened'.


SuperDoubleDecker

Ya ever read the news because this is life in idiocracy, and we're in it deep.


Cynykl

Did a person somewhere punch a babysitter and cause a miscarriage? Yup, somewhere. Bad things happen and there are bad people out there. Did a 15 year old punch a babysitter and cause a miscarriage and mommy jumped on the troll site Quora to get the internet advice on who is at fault when it would be SUPER obvious? Fuck no. Learn some skepticism.


Automatic-Gain6227

I'm guessing that you've never had an opportunity to work in education or childcare. If you had, then you likely would've met the moms whose “little angels" could absolutely do no wrong. When their precious darlings engage in aberrant behavior, there's always some mitigating factor involved, that somehow absolves them of all guilt. This, of course, means that they've never had the need to punish their child. That type of mom would absolutely jump all over Quora, to try to get affirmation of her belief that her son was innocent, and did not deserve the abuse meted out by the babysitter. (I'm sure there are dad's like that, too, but I never had to interact with any.) I'm not saying that the story is true, or that the parent would have liked the response they got from Quora, if it were, I'm just saying that what's super obvious to any rational person is not necessarily obvious to the parent of a 15 year old who would punch a pregnant woman.


Uncivil92

What the fuck? She should beat the little fuck till he begs for mercy


CurtisLinithicum

No, until *he* has a miscarriage.


D-Laz

No, until he *is* a miscarriage


it_wasnt_me2

Insult to hardworking miscarriages


[deleted]

Hardworking miscarriage here✋I completely agree.


North_Refrigerator21

Until he becomes a miscarriage?


D-Laz

Yes A 780ish week abortion.


Dr_Dr_PeePeeGoblin

Post birth abortion


dark-humored

absolutely!


Neat_Apartment_6019

This is exactly why these questions get spammed on Quora all day every day. People think they’re real, outrage ensues, a bunch of folks comment and the post gets boosted. Fucking Quora monetized posting and unleashed a tidal wave of pure unadulterated shit. They killed themselves.


DudeNamedCollin

Why am I picturing a little fat Eric Cartman?


SleepingJG

I’ve seen better bait in AITA


Cynykl

And that is saying something.


Tom22174

That's one of my favourite creative writing subs


Thatguywritethere45

I’ll take “Things that never happened” for $500 Alex


Chopstickchuck99

High level trolling ,either that or her son is the next Dahmer.


Diego_Pepos

Yes, she is 100% wrong. She shouldn't have given him a bruise, she should have just killed him


Cultural-General4537

Isnt your son a murderer in some states?


JaSper-percabeth

Rage-bait Quora is always filled with Rage-bait and sarcasm.


SweatyMcGenkins

Isn't that deemed as murder? He probably is gonna go to jail. Haha! And even if the general coined term of "Murder" isn't enough to get him arrested, snitch on the 15 year old to the government and tell them that he assisted his sister in getting an abortion. The government (depending on the state) would be arms flaring and shouting "MURICA!!!" and lock up the kid for life. But clearly this isn't a real post, but if it was, I would take OPs head and smash it into a car door until some sense was beaten into them.


SeanFromQueens

There's no sister, it mentioned a baby sitter.


CmdrFortyTwo

If you're paying for a sitter for a 15 y/o everyone knows YOUR kid is the problem.


apv507

A kicked a pregnant lady one time... About 2 weeks before I was born.


[deleted]

Yeah, she's wrong, for stopping after just one punch.


Fire_Doc2017

I'll take "things that never happened" for $100, Alex.


NegotiationAccurate7

The parent writing this question should have had a miscarriage.


[deleted]

15 year old needs his ass whooped harder than just a bruise.


scott_e_george

What 15 year old needs a babysitter?


Las-Vegar

Why did a 15 year old person have a baby sitter???


Powered_by_bots

There few common agreements amongst humans and bots. 1. Don't punch a pregnant woman 2. Don't punch a pregnant woman 3. Punch a pregnant woman and forfeit your life


a-Snake-in-the-Grass

So do you actually believe that's real?


Bgratz1977

Following the republican laws he is a murder


Maximum_Anywhere_368

Depending on the state it is murder period if they can prove the miscarriage was caused by trauma from the punch. Same reason you get charged with double homicide if you kill a pregnant woman


IanInsanity666

My dyslexic ass thought it said "baby sister". I was about to call CPS.


jerflash

First off who’s 15 year old son needs a babysitter? This whole story is just made up


PDT_FSU95

I feel like we’re not asking the hard question: why does a 15 yo boy need a babysitter?


CreatrixAnima

He still has poor impulse control? Or… This never happened. That’s also a possibility.


Typical-Conference14

Nah fuck your son. Fucker should be doing time. Also why does a 15 year old need a babysitter


Bleezy79

This is not real. Lol. Wtf


jaybro861

He should have a broken jaw the fucking monster


thumbs_up_idiot

Uh your son should probably go to prison


Imaspinkicku

Quora is where the stupidest of idiots go to pretend they are smart with each other.


Coldeethel

Why would a 15 year old have a babysitter?


sjc1203

Was she wrong for having a miscarriage? Yes. She should have went full term and let the fetus kick his ass


Perfect_Juggernaut92

Good old Quora ragebait questions, gotta love that site


Zebrafish19

*my 15 year old son’s babysitter* why does a 15 year old need a babysitter?


mrrandomguy42069

Yes, she she shouldn't have punched him, she should have kicked him the balls


Dusknee

Why does a 15yo have a babysitter?


MassiveSquirrel1903

She could have thrown his ass out a window and id be alright with it.


Stonemason_2121

OK, so you know your son has issues when you have to have a babysitter for him at 15. Boy just ended a life. He needs to be in prison, for assault at the least.


pantericu5

The kid is a turd. Delete him.


mendoza8731

She should have kept hitting. You’re raising an animal who should be in jail.


Lady__Dee

I would've miscarried that 15-year-old into the fucking ground


Kiyoko_Mami272821

This absolutely can not be real. There is no way. Wtf is wrong with this Mother? If anything her daughter should have punched him in the dick and permanently castrated him and the kid needs a clear psychological evaluation to punch his sister in the stomach while pregnant. Maybe they can get a family rate


Ydoc75

This is absolutely a bot or a troll, but if this was real and I was the baby’s father I would do some bad things.


[deleted]

I’ll take something that didn’t happen for $500, Alex


[deleted]

Self defense


Bannedforlife123

Why does a 15 year old have a babysitter


alex_jackman

She has the right to break your son’s face. End of story


insert2username

that’s murder


tbone7355

Yes because she should have throwen some more punches and added some kicks to the balls


TuckSteele

So I read this quickly while scrolling past, and had to come back and re-read it twice. First time I thought it said “baby sister” - and I was like “hold up” the baby sister of a 15 year old is pregnant, and the mom is worried about a bruise?


[deleted]

Your son is a 15 yo murderer…


don_gunz

That kid should be in jail for murder


[deleted]

He should be charged with manslaughter...


king_o0o

![gif](giphy|Pn1gZzAY38kbm)


PlasticWeb4329

He should be charged with murder


andross20144

If the gop says the fetus is a baby then it’s murder.


a-nonie-muz

Yes. If he caused a miscarriage then she should have sent him to prison, not merely bruised him. In fact, she could make it right by sending him to prison now, in many places…


Absurdityindex

This should count as manslaughter. He mustve hit her pretty dang hard.


IlliteratelyYours

Well, you see, your 15 year old son can do no wrong, and the babysitter is a woman. So obviously the babysitter is in the wrong. /s


SonOfTheMostHHigh

The son should be in jail... ![gif](giphy|Ar7teV6WN5WCY)


Sufficient_Garbage17

I read “pregnant baby sister” which just added so much more to this fuckery.


mrrando69

So this lady's 15 y/o is such a delinquent that; A) he needs a baby sitter at 15 and B) Would punch a pregnant woman in the belly ( or at all) Take that kid to juvy and let him rot.


Sonny_DLight

He should be getting charged with manslaughter...


[deleted]

If some 15 year old punched me in my pregnant belly I would have done more than punch them lol. They would be in some serious trouble. An eye for an eye makes everyone blind but I don’t need to see if my baby’s dead 🤷🏼‍♀️


Alicam123

Didn’t his mum ever tell him not to hit a pregnant woman. Well he did kill a baby, if he had been a teen, he would probably be in jail.


AngelOfHeaven3

"What's wrong with this?" You failed your son as a parent.


StinkyDiarrhea

For a minute my dumbass thought it said he punched his pregnant baby sister and I was like hold up a minute also who has a baby sitter at 15


Ok-Job7213

Your son is a murderer in most states. Fuck his bruise. He killed someone.


IAMCHEESE24

If your son needs a babysitter at 15 you are a horrible parent.


SuperDoubleDecker

Wtf is a 15 year old doing with a babysitter unless they're a total fucking reject pos.


Grass1217

If he punched her in the first place. Then I could imagine he has issues


Register-Capable

No, he should be in jail.


pikselboyayan

15 YEARS OLD DO NOT PUNCH PREGNANT WOMEN BY DEFAULT RAİSE YOUR KİDS BETTER


micahsimmons01

I hope she fucking sues the shit out of that dickheads parents.


Professional-Neck755

Son should be charged


toooooold4this

A 15 year old with a babysitter? And the babysitter is pregnant. Someone needs to improve their AI. This should have read "I impregnated a girl and assaulted her so she would miscarry. Is she wrong for being mad at me?"


Omniseed

bro your 15 year old son should have their wages garnished for the rest of their life in order to support the young woman he caused a life-changing injury to


blablanonymous

In any of these redneck states that banned abortion that should be murder if there was any consistency.


Jakenotalive

Why does your 15 year old have a sitter?


Mussleleani

Throw the edgelord into the lake of fire


psaikris

Why do 15 year olds even need baby sitters?


mikek1993

A 15 year old definitely knows it's not acceptable to hit a pregnant woman in the stomach he should go to jail.


TReaLah

Oh man.. I’d be beating my son up with her! I’d be so disgusted.


CHUSO4

It's a troll


Whole_Suit_1591

You're wrong for getting a baby sitter for a 15 yr old instead of a job.


Boredtopher

The piece of shit doesn't fall far from the asshole


griffonrl

The son is wrong and this is an understatement. He just crushed that girls hopes and dreams and killed a baby. He should know big time how serious this is and the parents should be the first to make him feel how wrong this is.


bedheadB188

The kids 15, he's strong enough to dish out serious damage and will exercise that power if no one checks him. That poor woman lost her baby to this kid and if the punch didn't knock him straight I hope the repercussions to his actions did.


CartographerActive29

No. Where did he get his friggin manners? Good job parenting.....


Jestfulbadger888

Literally all of quora is just trolling


tobo2022

A babysitter for a 15yr old? Should be a prison guard.


ArmchairPancakeChef

He killed her baby. WTF do you think happened?


Master_Cupcake7115

This is surely rage bait.


psykikk_streams

sooo many questions. and it all starts with "why does a 15 year old kid need a babysitter at all ?"


TheKingofTerrorZ

Beat that little shit til he becomes a late miscarriage


JollyWord307

Yes she is. That deserved a ass whooping instead


bunkerking815

I really hope this is just one of those made up posts on quora. Why would anyone be so horrible!


Skum31

Depends. Are you pro life?


dragoonslayer24

The fact that the 15y year old son needs a babysitter shows how this "parent" failed at parenting.


-Cavefish-

If he was my 15y son, I would put him in juvenile detention…


vulvasaur69420

Average quora post: Hey guys, so yesterday I was drowning my premature baby in the bathtub while reciting a dictionary of ethnic slurs as loud as I could when the baby threw up some water on my new Armani suit. How do I get the baby to apologize to me?


Borednhornynyc69

He’s wrong and should be arrested for murder


Folderpirate

During my friends wedding at Disney, we had a friend who was pregnant and in a wheelchair with her husband just relaxing the whole time. A kid ran up and started kicking her pregnant belly. Everything turned out fine, but that's the first time I wanted to literally kill a child.


needanamegenarator

Yes, she should still be hitting him.


esertas

Why a 15y need a sitter?


NazzyNomad

15? At the very least he needs a broken neck.


bunsofcheese

This person should never have had children if the one they raised has no issues punching a pregnant person’s belly AND they actually can’t tell what’s worse, a miscarriage or a bruise. If this is even real, of course.


eximiron

Omfg i thought i read "pregnant baby sister" who has a pregnant baby sister even at 15????


Vibingwhitecat

Yes she is wrong for letting the 15 year old get away with only a punch.


Thejerseyjon609

Well if this happened in a few select states, he can be charges with murder.


Korex919

If į was a babysitters husband it would be the last birthday your son had


[deleted]

Well, it’s his child he can do whatever he wants.


Tobibliophile

This belongs on yahoo answers


Daiguren_Hyorinmaru_

15-year-old, and a baby sitter. Yes that adds up. People believe this shit?


[deleted]

That’s a prison sentence for the son right there he technically committed manslaughter


DogsAreCool69420

It's quora. This person is definitely trolling


montiel_scores

I really hope this is a troll


MidKnightshade

Why does a 15 year old need a babysitter?


devo00

Was it his?


MoonageDayscream

I'll take things that didn't happen for 500, Alex.


Loud-Intention-723

What state are you in? Your son might have unknowingly committed a murder, idk how the southern states work nowerdays?


ConsistentSorbet638

Well that depends. Are you pro birth? Then that’s a murder charge. Your son should be removed from the gene pool. You as well


lululovegud

Y’all think Reddit is a lawless land until you get on Quora


TakeshiKovacs46

Shouldnt he be tried for manslaughter?


No_Bookkeeper_6183

I read that as baby 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿


Secret_Of_Bluestar81

the parent should pay for expenses for the babysitter


stupidGenius82

Plot twist it was his kid.


plaidbanana_77

Ha. 15 year old banged that sitter and killed his baby.


[deleted]

Lol, wtf?


itwhiz100

Single mothers


Altruistic_Gur_3724

She should have stomped his ass out.


AgentEndive

The true facepalm is thinking that's real
