May I ask to those of you who actually agree that D is a nice language to learn programming and implement many kinds of applications to vote for my answers to the following questions on Quora ?

I don't think many people here go to Quora, I know I don't.  You answers were decent though.

You should go on Quora more often, because it is one of the rare places where we can freely suggest D if somebody asks "what is the best...".

On Stackoverflow almost all my answers have been removed at once, because they found my D suggestions were "promotional content".

But I see that they have left all the other answers based on C++/Go/Dart/Java/C#/PHP/etc.

Completely stupid and unfair...

Obviously they don't want people to have the best solution to their problem, but only the solutions that closely match Stackoverflow's marketing business...

Or more likely some community members who have the privileges to remove answers, think that hype and "proof" of usage is more important than actual technical reasons.

I suggest that you try to talk about D here :

https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/35890/best-programming-language-for-web-development

Good luck...

That is 6 years old. It would not help anybody to comment.

Have you noticed that when you "google" something related to programming, the first results are  often pages which are several years old ?

If I understand you well, you are telling me to let these pages unchanged.

We shouldn't tell people about alternatives like D, because Java/C#/PHP/etc is better suited to get the job done anyway.

Surprising, but interesting point of view, I admit...

Its called necro-posting.
I'm surprised that post isn't read-only.

Stack Overflow (and sibling sites) explicitly encourage answering old questions (they will give you badges for it) because they get good search results and should be kept up to date.
