I was into Quora 10+ years ago. In fact in 2012 I made their Top Writers list. It was fun. It was exciting. It was interesting. As they added features I lost interest. I go back from time to time. I don't recognize it. Not sure if it's good or bad. Maybe I'm not longer their target market? I just feels overwhelming and less quality driven. Just me?

It has become an echo-chamber just like other sites....

Same here. I was a Top Writer twice. I know one year was 2014 because they sent me a nice fleece, but can't remember whether the other was before or after. Some people here might even know me from those days. Not long after that I got tired of them breaking their own rules to promote vapid (and sometimes factually incorrect) answers over actually-good ones. I remember one guy who always posted these long meme-filled pieces of absolute garbage that would get placed above other answers with 10x as many upvotes. Because "engagement" I guess. Should have been removed per the rules, but got highlighted instead. Due to that and other issues (e.g. incessant nagging about topic-specific bios) I loudly quit in 2016 or '17 and never looked back. What a trash fire.

  Similarly I was pretty active on it ~2014. I checked back recently and it looks like it's become very common to have mostly useless answers that are nothing but a ton of images with a bit of text in between. IIRC I had quit when at some point they tried to make it mandatory to install the app to access on phone.
