I dunno. Hasn't About.com kinda been like this for 10 years? Sure it's still around, but does anyone go to About.com on purpose? It's just articles specifically crafted to be Google bait. I find that these q/a sites aren't sticky enough to make money. You don't browse Y!A looking for answers to random questions. You come there from Google, read the top answer, try it if you can, then leave the site. At least Yahoo! stuff comes up in Google. Quora is locked behind its wall of logins. And, srsly, what's the end goal here, advertising revenue? Brand research? Do I really need to pay Quora to tell me people have trouble figuring out the directions on my hair care product? How much $$ have they taken so far? For what'll end up being just another ad platform? The quality of answers will degrade over time, just as the quality of any community degrades with size. Why, look at Reddit. It's a steaming pile of shit these days. Even the pedophiles on 4chan left 4chan to go to Reddit! Consequently, 4chan is actually a nice place to have a discussion, if you ignore the interspersed racism and anti-semitism. Those things are far worse on Reddit right now...
