Sans the monetization debacle, it's an extremely good platform for authors. It also has some unique content value. It's like a twitter but for those who want to read more detailed and rigorous content in the form of answer posts.
Such platforms work best when they're left on their own to work organically with a little bit of moderation for obscenities, hate speech, etc. In general, the platform takes care of itself as the best quality answers typically command the most upvotes/views (though I've seen a great bias towards political content relative to technical and other non-political topics in this regard).
The makers absolutely ruined it though when they introduced that paywall, they should have explored other monetization options, there are plenty of them.
- jfengel 3y agoQuora requires a lot of moderation. It has become a popular site for white supremacists, child pornographers, and others. They've fired almost all of their human moderators and appear to be doing it exclusively with automation. They do almost no moderation within the spaces, and many of them are devoted explicitly to racism. There is also a ton of explicit hate-speech trolling, much of it apparently coming from 4chan.
