- thrwaway69 7y agoIt used be alright but their noise factor has increased a lot since half a decade ago. Before that, Quora felt like a small community similar to HN. They had founders and executives answering questions. They were still spamming email afair but not as aggressively as today and it didn't have what is x + 3 = 10? I deleted it after I reached a million answer views from a sudden growth. The users that moved in completely destroyed the whole thing. That day, I learnt acquiring users via heavy marketing or SEO may not be a good decision for a community. They are better as spectators or consumers.
