Uh people actually liked Quora? I always blocked that website for SEO spam
The SEO spam is terrible. It reminds me of the days of things like Experts Exchange that just hand your query back to you and pretend like it’s what you want. “Here’s the exact question you’re looking for, just pay us and you can totally see the answer, we promise!”
That article is horrible, not for it’s content but their insistence of underlining words and phrases in sentences as links but it creates false emphasis and makes it unreadable!
They need to learn to develop some subtlety with their word cloud link nonsense
Too many better alternatives. Reddit (yeah, even after spez’s shit, Reddit is still better than Quora), Stack Overflow/Exchange, and now ChatGPT.
The noJS frontend Quetre even let you browse it without having to log in. I used it for a hot minute before realizing the answers on Quora were generally hot garbage.
It’s a reminder that not all of the old web was better, despite our collective nostalgia.
I think Reddit really enjoys the power of community effort. r/science removed every single personal anecdote, for example.

honestly, not sure I -ever- found a useful answer on Quora.
Reading them taught me one thing, Quora had/has a weirdly strong hardon for Steve Jobs and is/was all too happy to talk about anecdotes of him buying the authors’ lunch or reconciling with his estranged daughter. The only time I read criticism of Apple or him was when the question specifically asked for it.
