Ask HN: What went wrong with Quora?
Newsfeed content quality seems to have nosedived a year or two ago and never recovered. Are they doing okay as a business? Were they too dependent on Google traffic? What could they be doing differently?
- jamil7 6y agoSame thing as everything else, it’s full of “growth hackers” answering questions in order to market themselves or some product or service.
- RNeff 6y agoQuora has a program where they pay people a tiny amount to post questions. So there are a lot of stupid questions that could be easily answered with a google / wikipedia / imdb search. My favorite question, a triple stupid question: "Does California make good wine?" 1. California is a big place, with many different climate zones. 2. There are at least a hundred different varietals. 3: 'good' is a relative term. Also tons of spammy ads.
