I get where you're coming from. But I have to admit, I read my Quora digest email really often. I'm impressed how often I not only click through to read an answer, but enjoy the answer and find it valuable.
Quora definitely does some questionable things nowadays, but I'd also argue they are still getting some key things right too.
- solveit 7y agoThe difference I'm seeing in the comments seems to be between actual Quora users and people who just keep stumbling on Quora via search. My impression is that Quora does well at tailoring content for its users while being obnoxiously aggressive about getting non-users to sign up.
- htfu 7y agoYup. Just when I finally gave in and made a user with a backup email it turns out they're also demanding I download their app? I definitely would've created an account long ago, with my regular Gmail, if they didn't demand it from me. And probably have their app too. But now I'm just determined to not give in further. And yes, I get they're doing it because it presumably works better on aggregate than not being assholes. That just makes me hate it even more. Quora just makes me irrationally pissed off. I realize my dislike is over the top, some of the content isn't terrible, I'd love for the basic format to somehow work out, but the package is somehow worse than Trump tweeting and I sincerely hope it fails as soon as possible.
- rahidz 7y agoSounds very similar to Pinterest; a spammy clickbait-ridden excuse for a website serving only to deceive you when you search for products or images for non-users, or an amazing tool you can use to categorize all the things, and find inspiration for similar items for users.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI agree. Some questions in my digest are interesting and often get very insightful answers from people with first hand knowledge.
