The up/down feature tends to create echo chambers that eventually exclude half the population. Reddit is worse at this because of excessive moderation combined with doomscrollong incentives.
I find that most of social media went south around the time of Trump's election and the heavy partisan moderation that followed it.
Quora further seems to have been taken over by Chinese paid writers.
