I was an avid quora user, but then stopped using it.
It tried to cater to everything and everyone and then suddenly became boring. Earlier, it was a Q&A website where you could get quick or detailed answers about your doubts/queries and concepts. For the college students it still works that way. But, along with that knowledge part, they tried to accommodate the opinion pieces, debates etc. framed as questions, which was a major turnoff.
Actually, I feel all the bad came at the same time. Power users were given more weightage and high visibility, turning off other's will to answer questions. Hundreds of users posted similar questions which could not be clubbed, hence repeated content, Choosing topics started having no effect since your feed will show activity from people you follow - not just the topic, With diversity of people, and the be nice policy, somewhere the dissenting opinion stopped showing up, with the popular one given preference, then (as an indian) there were a lot of cringy questions about India, and even loaded questions which were not moderated, which completely took me off the platform.
