Chapter 82 Excessive threshold

“User Registration Exam”

“Nature and object of the exam

When applying for registration, please choose the section you are good at. The user registration exam questions are drawn from the question bank built, which is used to measure the user's level. The content of the exam varies greatly depending on the section. The ranking system will be adopted for passing the exam. The top 10% of the users in this section will be qualified to become official Quora users."

Rex was stunned. Registering an account requires an exam. This exam does not mean that you can get a Quora account if you pass the exam, but that you need to rank in the top 10%.

Fortunately, Rex originally likes to accept challenges. As a programmer in Silicon Valley, he is naturally the most confident in the computer field, so he undoubtedly chose the computer sector.

Due to the good relationship between Quora and professors from various universities, Quora finds a large number of professors and gives questions to form a question bank in this field.

After two hours of examination, Rex thought it would not be difficult, but the difficulty was beyond his imagination.

Although he learned computers in college, such as databases and data management, data structures and algorithms, computer networks and distributed systems, he learned them in corresponding professional courses in college.

However, studying does not mean that you can still understand this knowledge after graduating from university and working for so many years, especially computer networks and operating systems.

After spending two hours, Rex was full of his mind and wanted to complain about Quora.

He went to the main section of the Riot Electronics Community and saw that they were all scolding Quora.

"Is Newman crazy? Relying on his own products, he sets such a high threshold for users? As a doctoral student in computer science, I can tell you that the computer test questions are at least the content of the doctoral entrance examination, and they are doctoral students from Ivy League universities."

“Is Quora setting such a high threshold to block users outside the door?”

"This is not fair at all. Those who obtained the account before were just lucky. Now we need to pass the exam if we want to get another account, and it is a ranking exam."

"I think this is a kind of racial discrimination. Due to historical reasons, the proportion of blacks who have the opportunity to receive higher education is already smaller than other ethnic groups. Internet services like Quora that can obtain knowledge have blocked most of the black groups outside by setting thresholds."

Racial discrimination in 1999 was still quite serious. On February 4, when African American man Amod Duro was shot and killed by New York police, it triggered large-scale demonstrations and protests.

Fortunately, it is not as exaggerated as it was later, otherwise Quora would have been subjected to large-scale boycotts by this reason.

"It's hard for me to imagine that I'm about to enter the 21st century, and there are such natural Internet services that set high thresholds."

Since Quora is the hottest topic on the Internet recently, Quora has caused heated discussions on major online forums after opening users to register. After everyone registered, they started to scold.

You can register a Quora account. After registering, the account can only collect answers, follow users and follow questions. Not to mention answering questions or asking questions, you can't even like the question.

To enable these permissions, it is very simple, that is, the exam, and the exam does not just pass the exam, but also requires ranking.

This makes users who are used to enjoying various Internet services without thresholds very dissatisfied.

Later, when registering some Internet services, you also need a mobile phone number and a mobile phone verification code. Now you can register as much as you want. It’s okay to register as many as you want. As long as you don’t have to rename the email address with other people’s email address.

Quora's gameplay has caused users to scold in major forums, some directly criticizing and some sarcastic, and almost no one supports Quora to do this.

Of course, in addition to scolding, there are another type of posts.

"Can you please give me a like?" Then put a link below.

The question bank of science and engineering is full of multiple-choice questions. Just choose multiple-choice questions directly. The backend automatically scores and rankings and completes them in one go.

As for the fields of humanities and social sciences, such as history, politics, and economy, it is difficult to have a unified judgment standard.

Who should I give this right to delegate? Not to mention, so many users, manpower will definitely not be able to handle it.

Quora's operation team came up with a solution, which was to find experts in this field to set questions, and then users answered questions, ranking the number of likes they answered, and the top 10% of users were qualified for registration.

No matter how much everyone scolds you, you should take the exam, or canvass the votes honestly.

"Is anyone able to publish the questions I've worked on?"

There are also attempts to let everyone reveal the questions so that they can gain an advantage in the exam.

Rex not only looked around in the Riot Electronics community, but also went to other online forums. After reading around, he found that everyone was scolding, but he still wanted to have a Quora account with all permissions.

"Quora is digging its own grave! After the launch of Yahoo Answers, users will flock to it." Kevin was very happy in Yahoo's office building.

Jerry Yang and Zhou Xin are friends, but this does not affect Yahoo's own knowledge Q&A community.

Kevin is the Yahoo executive mentioned earlier. He dominated the Yahoo game community and copied the content of the Riot Game community, causing the Yahoo public opinion crisis, and then asked another executive to take the blame.

He is still the target of Yang Zhiyuan's reliance on.

Originally, after Quora announced the opening of registration, Yahoo was very worried.

Because even if you copy it according to Quora, it will take at least two months for Yahoo's products to be launched.

After two months, everything became cold.

As a result, Quora actually sets such a high threshold. Isn’t this a desperate situation?

"Newman is excellent, he is definitely the top-notch in his exploration of user needs, but he is too proud.

The knowledge Q&A community focuses on the community, not the knowledge Q&A.

Setting such a high user registration threshold is naturally unmatched with users.

When there are no other knowledge Q&A community products, users will take their exams out of popularity, curiosity, and demand for such Internet services.

However, when other Internet companies can provide the same services, no users are willing to take their user registration exam in a stupid way.

Newman seems to think that they are the only ones who can do the knowledge Q&A community.” Kevin has a lot of opinions about Zhou Xin because of the previous incident.

Yahoo's plagiarism caused a sharp drop in stock prices. Yang Zhiyuan apologized in public, which seriously affected his position in the company.

He was originally the second-ranked executive, but now he is in a tendency to be marginalized.

Therefore, Kevin is hostile to Zhou Xin and hopes to regain his power with the help of Yahoo Answers.

Next week, I will go to Sanjiang. Recently, Kavenka is amazing, and there is another chapter to make up tomorrow.
