Just 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..
- swgdo 7y agoI 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.
- 2_listerine_pls 7y agoI don't use Quora anymore, it's full of irrelevant answers.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoThe forced merging of even slightly similar answers really messes things up. The answers never seem to match the question being asked.
- 7373737373 7y agoIt'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.
- zem 7y agoagreed, I'd have been an enthusiastic proponent of both quora and pinterest were it not for the forced login simply to view public content.
- byte10010001 7y agoJust use ‘?’ at the end of url to bypass login. Where is the forced element?
- 7373737373 7y agoOpen access should be the default and require no workarounds, which only a tiny minority will know or use.
- bdcravens 7y agoIf you're trying to find a technical answer, it's not the best. But on other topics I'm blown away at the depth of some of the answers.
