That blog post by Mark was 100% on point. There are legitimate growth tactics, and then there are growth tactics that go over the line. Quora recognized they crossed the line on that one.
That being said, they will sell, probably by year end or early next year.

- samstave 14y agoAs RDL said, Yahoo is the best likely acquirer and IMO specifically because they need to hedge against Google and FB grabbing up everything in their path.
- marcos123 14y agoAs a former quora user, I definitely did not get the impression that they "recognized they crossed the line on that one." The impression I did get however was that the "views feature" was very much a consciously thought out decision, as I would assume most decisions are that are made in the context of building a company with millions of invested dollars in it. I also got the impression that they clung for dear life to that ill-intentioned decision, until their folly was making headlines for one-too-many days, and they made another decision to feign like they had no idea people wouldn't like strangers and friends knowing what they read in their private time. That's just my impression though. As a former quora user.
