Quora has become more “question centric” than “answer centric” these days
It seems everyone is hell bent on asking others questions, I'm getting questions at the rate of like handfuls per hour!
And yet, not a soul seems to be reading the answers that I post to them (based on the views and upvotes I'm getting on the answers I've posted).
Does it have anything to do with their new policy of rewarding some chosen quorans depending on how many questions they ask as I've heard?
- hiby007 7y agoMany people are using Quora to market their product. The pattern I have seen is they ask a question that they want to appear for in Google (other search engines), and then they answer the questions plugging in their product. Suitable for the company but bad for the platform.
- stevekemp 7y agoYup. Quora is basically a spam-magnet. I don't even click links that point there these days.
- 0xd171 7y agoAt this point it's really only a cesspool of people trying to sell stuff - get off the platform, you won't be missing out on anything valuable.
- keiferski 7y agoQuora ceased to be useful about 2 years ago. I am surprised no other startups have tried to get into that space - it seems ripe for a new, fresh, clean approach.
- Nextgrid 7y agoThere’s not that much money to be made and the competition (Stack Exchange) is strong. In fact the reason Quora turned bad is because there isn’t much money to be made and they’re being desperate, sacrificing quality in exchange for content to attract page views.
- AznHisoka 7y agoQuora as others have mentioned is useless. Stick with subreddits or niche forums. I think anyone that markets themselves as a Q&A site will have this issue of attracting spammers.
