Quora is pretty much trash anyway. A lot of setup by stooges for business consultants to answer things.
You _will_ find useful info there and it is much easier to see it as the first response compared to a few years ago but I don't engage with any content beyond what I can see without logging in. Generally the quality of answers is pretty low unless it is in a popular subject or a "big name" answers.
None of the moderation systems are perfect. There are entire mod cabals in every community and that is sometimes worse than automated moderation.
- projektfu 6y agoAviation questions often have great answers. I used to answer a lot of veterinary questions. But these days when I click onto a link to Quora, that’s the end of the line, because you have to log in to see anything else. StackExchange is just a better site now.
- Rochus 6y ago> because you have to log in to see anything else No, you can still read the answers to a question when you e.g. have a link to it from Google. But when you go to the frontpage there is indeed a login prompt.
- leetrout 6y agoThey might be referring to clicking other links on the page which prompts you to login when you navigate away from the question page you landed on.

- dmart 6y ago> You _will_ find useful info there Debatable, I think. It's been literally years since I found any useful information on Quora. It's mostly spam now, even worse than Answers.com was back in the day, with the added bonus of a sign-in wall.
- atoav 6y agoNote: if any person will find only one useful answer there, what the parent said will be true. Of course this is pedantic and while I don't like Quota at all, I don't think it is up to us to judge what people may find useful (this depends very much on things like circumstances, age, mental capacity etc). What you might find trivial or even silly, might be an eye opener to someone else. Quota is certainly not the best environment to get good qualified answers, but that doesn't mean you won't find one once in a while.
