#2Just to take a pulse, but am I in the minority that finds Quora to be a great great resource to learn on a variety of topics ? I know HNers are often critical so wondering what others think. Some say Quora's time has well faded and it is no longer used as much, but I'm not sure about that..

I don't use Quora anymore, it's full of irrelevant answers.

#4I do not understand how quora gets its answers but it still frequently shows up in google results with the best answers. Most recently the answer to me trying to find the mythical Bezos memo [0] “web services or you’re fired” that Yegge referenced.

It's nice to get very quick, in-depth answers by experts.
But the forced login - why should one freely contribute knowledge if it is siloed by a company? - ads, frequent clickbait/opinion/irrelevant/crazy/advertisement-style answers and irrelevant notifications ruin the experience for me.

The forced merging of even slightly similar answers really messes things up. The answers never seem to match the question being asked.

#8Damn, I consider it the new Yahoo Answers. More and more pure garbage answers.

I hate the way the website is laid up, everything is shown in a similar font face so you have to read ads and titles of unrelated questions before you can find the text of the answer... which will surely be written by someone with economical interests in the field.

agreed, I'd have been an enthusiastic proponent of both quora and pinterest were it not for the forced login simply to view public content.
