I am surprised to see so much negativity towards Quora. I wonder if this is a case of Quora being so massive that this post is rallying the vocal minority, which seems large only because everyone happy with Quora is staying silent.
Personally, I get a lot of value from Quora answers. There have been specific cases where the knowledge I needed was only found on Quora. For example, how to access Library Genesis when their main domain was down. Another interesting one was “What’s the net worth of Sam Altman?” The answers seemed pretty reasonable, and I like that speculative questions are allowed.
I don’t remember creating a Quora account, but even if I haven’t, I think creating one is an ok price to pay. It keeps the site running.
