answer:It’s interesting you view it that way. I share your experience with only having used those same 2 Q&A sites, but my opinion is completely flipped. I don’t use AB anymore because browsing the questions just generally made me hate people. I can’t count the number of times I’d see questions like, “Who wants a hug?” Or, “Am I the only one who likes the color green?” Just stupid STUPID shit. It seemed like a majority of the site was just posting non-questions for attention, and happily receiving non-answers. Case in point… I just went through the 1st page of questions on AB right now… >=/ Here’s what I found: (none of these questions contain a description or anything that might validate a deeper meaning) “Orange was the new black, but did you know blue is the new orange? In art, of course!” “Why does my head feel like its going to explode?!” “Do hairy bandits scare you, girls?” “Modesty aside, I am _________!!” “Were unicorns ever horny?” “Only the wisdom of the fool can answer ___. From the pamphlet: The Weakest Wisdom of WABOO, a miniseries lecture. Hehe” “Just when you’re having fun, you get PBd. How ironic is that? ;)” “Damsel In __________” “In what places or events is free ice cream given?” “To discard everything that is unnecessary is the second principle of the art of stalking. Comprende’?” “Not unless you remove the ‘Why’ in your questions will I be liking your questions again. To whom will you be saying this? Hehe” That is the first 11 of 18 questions!!! WTF kind of idiot stupid shit is that!? It’s fuckin retarded… And the other questions—the ones that are worth anything—almost none of them have anything beyond a 3 word, let alone a 1 sentence answer. Sorry I’m getting all worked up about this… It’s just immensely annoying to me to see such stupidity. It’s why I stopped going there. Anyway… When I was on AB (granted its been a while), the general mood of the site was childish or spiteful (now confirmed it still is). Answers were rarely as thoughtful or in depth as I find here, and hardly ever contained more than 2 sentences. When I moved to ask-public I was amazed to find people giving me paragraph long—coherent—answers full of content that I would actually use. In fact… Maybe that’s where your opinion comes from. Because ask-public tends to cultivate more heartfelt and specific responses, there’s more room for disagreement on a truly personal level. IDK… Personally, I’ve never had it out with anyone on here like I had on AB. The cultures are night and day. AB is like a preschool. ask-public is like working in the real world after college.
