#2Once Quora started blurring answers like Experts Exchange, I had no use for it. You're holding user-contributed content hostage? Go away.
Complaining about usability on Quora is like complaining about not having privacy on Facebook.

#3I'm hoping that Google will penalize them someday. They download all the content in the page so that they'll get indexed for it, but they don't offer it up without an account to the user.

#7It's one sucky business model. Force people to sign up in the hopes that they'll stick around. It sounds fun, but the existence of services like BugMeNot says otherwise.

It's not the same as Experts Exchange which would make you pay for content unless you happened to notice you could just keep scrolling. Quora isn't making users pay for the app. They're just pushing the app because they seem to be more invested in it (perhaps sentimentally) than the mobile web experience.
