I do remember often being frustrated when mostly useless Yahoo Answers content would appear at the top of Google search results. I never understood why it was ranked so highly. YA seemed like what Quora would be like if you were required to flunk a literacy test in order to participate.

And ironically quora answers now pollute google results and elicit similar eyerolls.

At least Yahoo! Answers entries were short. Quora is basically the Y!A of today, but with essay-length responses that don't still don't answer the question.

Have you looked at Quora any time in the past 6 years? The answers may be grammatically correct, but the content is not much better than Yahoo Answers, and at least Yahoo Answers was funny.
