Quora is alive and kicking

I have been posting here on Colourchat for a long time. I think it is nearly 10 years but it could be longer. Time flies. However, I just wanted to let you know that I also post on a website called quora. Quora is a site where people post questions and other people can answer them. It used to be completely free although quora have recently introduced a model where people can put their answers behind a pay wall. However, my answers are free and I just wanted to let you know that there is a lot of stuff there that might interest you. I have only been posting there about 3 years but my answers have received over 2 million views (whereas Colourchat has had less then 500,000 views over a much longer time period).

However, quora is a little bit tongue-in-cheek. Not all of the answers are serious though most of mine are. I still reserve my best content for Colourchat where I can give a lot more detail. And I also have a patreon page where I do charge a small fee (because that’s how patreon works) where I am curating my most detailed content and this includes quite a few videos that are unique to the patreon site.

Anyway, if you want to have a look at quora you could take a look at this post I made today which answered the question of why a mixture of red and blue light doesn’t generate a hue that is between the two ends of the spectrum. I hope you like my answer. What I focus on – and what I am striving towards though perhaps not always achieving – is to try to answer these questions in a way that is maximally informative but at the same time doesn’t require an understanding of maths, for example, so that it is maximally inclusive.
