Quora: collapse short low-effort answers

Dims and collapses answers shorter than 140 characters; clicking one expands it to full size.

Code to copy

// Dim and collapse very short, low-effort answers
function collapseShort() {
  document.querySelectorAll('div[class*="puppeteer_test_answer_content"]').forEach(function (a) {
    if (a.dataset.jzChecked) { return; }
    a.dataset.jzChecked = '1';
    const text = (a.textContent || '').trim();
    if (text.length < 140) {
      a.style.opacity = '0.45';
      a.style.maxHeight = '3.2em';
      a.style.overflow = 'hidden';
      a.title = 'Short answer collapsed';
      a.addEventListener('click', function () {
        a.style.maxHeight = 'none';
        a.style.opacity = '1';
        a.style.overflow = 'visible';
      });
    }
  });
}
collapseShort();
const obs = new MutationObserver(collapseShort);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });
