I'm sorry to see Quora's demise, too. I started in 2017 with an interest in answers on mathematics. That grew to several other interests. In the last few years, I found that I had to avoid upvoting answers that while I thought were good would ultimately "choke out" answers to topics of more interest. (Answers about the MCU are a prime example of this.)

It is now to the point that if I want to read answers from my favorite writers, I have to look them up manually. That might sound a bit like a "first world problem" but if I'm having to do that, then Quora isn't even as good as an RSS feed.

With regards to cussing... I've always tried to keep my answers "PG" for a few reasons but primarily, if I'm taking the time to write, I don't want anyone dissuaded by the language. Few people, if any, would say, "There isn't enough cussing in there for me to read it." The opposite certainly holds true.

Thanks for the thoughtful answers.
