I don't quite understand the program. I would've guessed this program pays people to ANSWER questions, not ask them. Quora has a shortage of questions, but not a shortage of answers? That surprises me, or are people also paid to answer questions as well?

- jcmoscon 7y agoThey have a program that pays for answers too.
- jfengel 7y agoNot recently. They had one briefly some years ago, but it is long gone.
- jfengel 7y agoIt's about advertising. Each question provides an opportunity for many people to answer it. It's like a trivia game -- you don't pay people to answer trivia questions. They come to give an answer, and they get shown an ad. If they get lucky, they may also be able to show an ad to somebody who got there via Google with a vaguely similar question. They spent a number of years getting a very good reputation with a "Top Writers" program, attracting people who wrote good answers in exchange for merch (but not cash). That provides a lot of inbound links, and now they're monetizing it.
