OOF. It sounds very fucked up how they managed to make an inexcusable bullshit of marketing and backend logic to even prevent you from opening that comment section as a *logged in* user.

Comment sections seem to be really hard to do right nowadays - even Youtube shows barely half of what is actually there. Sometimes i can't even see my own comments, while people still react to them (so they aren't banned).
And Quora in general works best when you go to StackExchange instead. -
@Oktokolo I was shadowbanned on YT (for no good reason) but the channel I posted my comments on was able to answer to them.
It might also be that you're only blocked on certain channels. YT has been having massive problems with comment moderation during the past years, and their actions seem to harm the regular users more than the spam bots. -
@electrineer Nah, it happens on multiple channels and i still get answers from other users there. Also often i can't see some of the other comments too. It really looks pretty random.

God damnit Quora!
I stumbled upon some article or post or whatever they are called on quora.
And I really wanted to read the comments on it. It wouldn’t let me unless I log in.
I normally don’t do that but I thought I’ll make an exception because I really wanted to read the comments.
So I clicked on that comments button and logged in (via google). First it presented me some modal dialog to pick 5 things that interest me. And it was mandatory. Fine… I picked those 5 things.
Finally it presents me the list of articles or whatever. But not the same list that I have seen before I was logged in. Scrolling, the article of my interest is not there. God damnit! Just show me my comments for fucks sake.
I go back to that tab where I was not logged in to somehow copy the link of that article or the link to the comments section. But it doesn’t let me. Some bullshit pseudo smart layer of crap is preventing me from doing anything.
Then I abuse the fucking share link to visit it in my logged in tab to finally see the comments that I came for.
And the comments weren’t even worth it. God! What a waste of time! And how can one fuck up a fucking forum so much?
It will be a lesson for me not to visit Quora ever again.
