But I bet their traffic increased. I see quora often in searches.
I might be pessimists but I think they knew exactly what they were doing and are happy with results.
And I am guessing new SO leadership wants the same.
- ddingus 7y agoI am sure they are quite happy. Users? Not so much. Getting at great contributions is now much harder. I use Quora much less now. Churn 'n burn for traffic dollars is a strategy. Suppose it opens a door somewhere too. Do that enough, and there is clearly room for a less noise filled source. IMHO, the difference here is Quora has a plausible, casual user case that makes sense. The people who helped to build Quora content won't give two shits and will move on, but Quora itself may do just fine. Meh. Degrading the value to current users of SO to attract more in general, leads where for SO?
