Quora is already a dumpster fire. Everytime I go to quora from Google, I see the question at the top, but then right below it I see answers for different questions. You have to scroll past those, past a block of ads, past a sponsored answer (to another unrelated question), just to get to the answer, which itself is an confidently incorrect human that is just peddling their own website for SEO juice, and it is truncated at 2 lines, which means you need to click "read more" which spawns an additional set of ads that you need to scroll past to read lines 3 and 4 of the question.
I visited a link this week and saw ChatGPT as the top result and I thought the same thing. Is Quora signaling to me that you are better off not asking our community for questions, just throw it to the AI gods and good luck. Oh and look at these 3,000 ads and take these 209 cookies before you go.
Luckily I search with Kagi now, so I told it to just never give me search results with Quora in it. I'd prefer not knowing that dumpster fire of a website still exists.
- sixQuarks 3y agoI don't even ever clickthrough to Quora anymore. It's useless, you never get the answers to the question unless you login, and even then it shows only one or two answers and bombards you with other unrelated questions.
- ssl232 3y agoAgreed, there was only a narrow period a long time ago where Quora was usable and useful. It's been a domain I've skipped visiting in search results for maybe 10 years now.

- spacemadness 3y agoI guess the question then is why in the nine hells is what they’re doing profitable now? Is it more and more profitable being entirely useless and becoming more profitable? That seems insane to me.

- squeaky-clean 3y ago> past a sponsored answer (to another unrelated question) I bet you're wondering "How much money did Oprah make when she sold her Gustav Klimt painting for $150 million?" Well let me tell you, there's a brand new startup which let's you invest in this previously exclusive asset class. << Read More... >>>
- bagasme 3y agoYikes! Applying "all related" answers to the original question is mostly nonsense unless you're lucky.
