It actually depends whether the quote contains the entirety of the question or if the sentence containing the quote also is a question.

The Economist regularly places end punctuation outside the quotation marks. It drives me nuts. Clearly, it’s an alternate convention, not an error (because it’s consistent). But I hate it.

Just like with dildos, anything can be an alternate convention if you're brave enough.

You probably insist on using Oxford commas too.

"Journalism" is where grammar and punctuation go to die.

And this whole thing about en-dashes and em-dashes being indicative of AI usage can get fucked.  That's just lazy analysis by people who have no idea how to use those punctuation tools.

Nicki Minaj. Folks that moron is part of why we get in situations like this. She couldn’t count to potato, but there she is grifting right alongside our Secretary of Grifting. Nuke the whole apparatus. I am so sick of all these them. A bunch of uneducated clowns getting the poor in spirit and money to go along with messages like that.

Black folks are gonna take care of Nicki. Don't you worry bout that. Also, I read a comment that said what Nicki Minaj did is called Kanyekaze'ing. Brilliant
