As a person who has seen Quora evolve over the years, I am truly surprised that it’s respected even nearly as much as it is. By all accounts it’s a glorified content mill that is the slightly smarter consumer’s answer to Yahoo Answers, fielding such important questions as “how is babby(sic) formed?” This is an honest question— how many HN users are relying on Quora as a viable alternative to something like a Wikipedia search when researching? I’ve nearly never found that a Quora answer was sufficient to answer my question. I’ll admit that in terms of SEO they’ve got things figured out; they always appear near the top of DuckDuckGo searches, but as far as real content goes, they leave a lot to be desired.
