Before Stackoverflow, they were pretty good. Once they started the anti-pattern of requiring registration to view answers, the quality went down hill pretty quick.
In the last few years, my workplace added them to their blocklist. I didn't realize that one of the reasons was Quora is very spammy with emails.
- vasili111 3y agoAdding the requirement to register in order to see the answers I think was major mistake. I remember multiple times coming to quora from google and after just closing the page because of it.
- brookst 3y agoThis. It’s a short term strategy that blew up the long term. I submitted a bunch of answers to Quora way back when, but learned to avoid clicking links to the site because of sign in hassle. Which meant I was never on the site, so I stopped writing new answers. Classic case of a company not understanding their value prop and accidentally destroying it.

- lolinder 3y ago> Before Stackoverflow, they were pretty good. Stack Overflow was publicly available two years before Quora was.
- scbrg 3y agoPerhaps non existence was Quora's peak. After that, it was founded and everything went downhill from there :-)
