Quora VS Yahoo! Answers

"*Hello fight fans and welcome to the main event! Today we will spectate a legendary match up between the internet's two foremost question and answer based websites: Quora.com and Yahoo Answers!*"
―Erik
Quora VS Yahoo! Answers is the 93rd lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on February 21, 2019.

## Summary

Erik announces a rumble between reigning champion Yahoo Answers and challenger Quora, and then he looks at some examples of questions.

Erik compares how both websites respond to questions about eating books. Quora presented a stupid pun while Yahoo Answers gave basic instructions. But the answer on Yahoo Answers had the word "retarded" in it so Quora gets the point. The prize is a comment from Quorious Betsy

Next, Erik looks at questions about pet care. The Quora answers are too long so Erik just reads the first and last sentence and gets all of the information he needs. He leaves his comment there and looks at Yahoo Answers. The answers on Yahoo Answers are much more direct, so they get the point. Then Erik posts a petcare question as TennesseeJack69 for good measure.

He goes back to Quora and clicks on a question, but it's just an ad. He tries a few more, but they're just ads too. He shows how to do ads the right way and talks about NordVPN. He uses it to connect to a British server and watch Nobbleberry, but he accidentally connects to Russia and watches Nubleborsky. He reminds his students that Quora and Yahoo Answers have both been hacked. He answers a Quora question about the hack by recommending they use NordVPN, but Quora Moderation removes his answer so Yahoo Answers gets a point.

Erik finds questions about drinking turpentine. He tries to answer the question on Quora but his account gets blocked because Quorious Betsy isn't his real name. He changes it to LaBetsy Querios and he's allowed to answer again. Then he finds a Yahoo Answers question about a tampon stuck in someone's butt and a Quora question about fetuses getting pregnant. Quora gets a point.

Then Yahoo Answers gets a point for a question about the Mandela Effect in the Bible. Betsy asks about the Mandela Effect on Quora. Then Erik suddenly feels Betsy rising up to ask more questions. Erik starts to panic because Betsy is asking inappropriate questions without knowing any better. Then he looks over the answers that Betsy got. One person is rather upset that Betsy is asking for medical help on Quora so Erik finds it helpful. Another says that their favorite IP address is 127.0.0.1, which Erik doesn't get at all so Erik finds it helpful. Another says that theirs is 222.173.190.239 which is hexadecimal for deadbeef. Erik gets sick of the nerds on Quora.

Erik is stopped by a pop up warning from Quora Moderation asking him not to spam and to use his real name. He sees that they've removed several of his questions and demonstrates how much easier it is to ask fun questions on Yahoo Answers. But then his Yahoo Answers question gets removed. He declares that it's a tie, but then he finds a Yahoo Answers question about how hot Ted Cruz is so Erik declares Quora the winner.
