I really started hating Quora a while back, probably 3 years ago and stopped collaborating.
Most because "people" were spamming answers with marketing bs...
So many answers start with "I'm Bob, CEO of MyCompany.com, I am an expert in this and that"
Most Quora users are hungry for answers and flood-request you to answer their question just because the system recommends them to do so. No matter how many times you pass, the system still keeps notifying you that "you are needed". Quora doesn't understand a no is a no.
IMHO -> There truly isn't any benefit on providing good answers on Quora, other than stroking your ego, might as well become a micro-influencer on Instagram.
Even worse most questions seem truly 1-Google search away and the answers are low-effort.
Sure you do have some rare gems, and those are truly amazing to read. Alas, that's not often and spamming answers just for the sake of answering has become a reality.
I feel like questions like "Why is <insert my opinion here> true?" have become increasingly common too.
Thats like asking: "Please confirm my opinion, I don't want to learn anything new!"
