I left quora long ago because of farmed questions. I would like to help people, but I wasted a lot of time answering questions that literally no one cared about.
If a person ask me what's to see in my hometown, I'd answer. But when I see that the asker has asked the same question for every town in the atlas, I know they don't really care about the answer.
And worse, quora actually paid people for this, flooding the site with questions no one actually cares about. They were wasting a ton of good people's honest work with lies, in the hope of extracting maybe 0.01% of the value of helpful people for themselves.
