Quora Comment Visibility: Can We Always See All Comments?

The discussion on Quora about the visibility of comments has been quite lively. Many users, including myself, have suggested that we should be able to see all comments by default, without any need to navigate to separate pages. In this article, we will explore the current state of comment visibility and what changes might be on the horizon.

The Current State of Comment Visibility

Currently, the visibility of comments on Quora is a bit complex. When a question or answer has multiple comments, they are not all displayed on the initial page. Instead, the comments are filtered based on certain criteria, such as whether the original poster (OP) has upvoted them, if the commenter is followed by the OP, or if they are Moderators of the topic. Additionally, comments that are less upvoted may be placed on a separate page, and those that have been downvoted are collapsed by default.

Comments that the OP upvoted or that come from certain commenters those the OP follows or those that are Moderators of the topic show on the first page. Comments that are not upvoted are on the other page along with collapsed comments that have been downvoted.

Why Are Comments Hiddden?

Firstly, it's important to understand why comments are hidden in the first place. Quora has implemented these features to improve the user experience and to make the most relevant and useful comments more prominent. This approach aims to keep the discussion threads clear and focused on the most valuable contributions.

It might be possible to opt out of the feature someday but not currently.

Future Improvements

While the current system may cause frustration for some users, it is important to note that Quora is continuously making improvements to the platform. It is possible that in the future, there may be settings or options to customize comment visibility according to individual preferences. For now, users can expect some adjustments to the existing comment feature, but a full opt-out option is not available.

User Feedback and Suggestions

User feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Quora. Many users have expressed their desire to see all comments by default, which indicates a clear demand for this feature. Quora administrators are paying attention to these concerns and are likely to consider implementing changes based on user feedback.

Plz do the same my friend.

Conclusion

In summary, while Quora currently does not offer an option to always see all comments by default, the platform is continuously evolving. As user demand for this feature grows, it is possible that in the future, Quora will introduce settings to cater to different preferences. In the meantime, users can continue to navigate to the separate pages to view all comments or provide feedback to Quora.
