same thing quora did, which made it hated by the masses.

  Oh yeah, I remember browsing it back in the day. A friend touted it as some platform where your questions get answered by experts in that particular field. For a time it was cool - had NASA astronauts, computer scientists, famous politicians. But later it got filled with random no names and their sob stories, motivational self-help nonsense and just embellished factoids from history. It turned into a glorified r/askreddit

  Quora is arguably worse, it actively incentivized people to post inane and unproductive questions reducing the overall quantity of the content. Language topics are littered which questions such as "What is the colour red in the language X" while topics like Math has stuff like "What is 1+1". I wish I was kidding about that last one, it's an actual question on Quora with 1,078 answers as of this comment. It's insane

    Most of the answers to that last question are inane and unproductive. The first answer is funny though: https://www.quora.com/What-is-1+1 https://www.quora.com/What-is-1+1

      That was pretty great! I especially liked "We’ve now reduce the problem to a subproblem we can easily solve!"
