I think it's interesting at how many of these are "Ask HN" type posts. It could be that people are often seeking to gather specific crowd-sourced knowledge from experts, what happened to Quora?

- jjohansson 6y agoExternal links from Quora have the rel=nofollow attribute, so they don't help with SEO. Most SEOs would understand this.
- dclusin 6y agoThis community happened to it. The number of top-voted hacker news blog posts talking about how they acquired their first n users by shitposting on Quora about their startup are too many to enumerate. I think the difference between here and Quora is that the mods here are more opinionated and will kill posts that feel spammy/use voter rings/etc.
- maire 6y agoI disabled my Quora account when I discovered it was selling my data.
- tezzer 6y agoI got rid of mine when they started paying people to ask questions, and the quality of questions plummeted. Also, the clearly fake "so-and-so would like you to answer a question" email notifications annoyed me.
