Quota was once a very good website. I spent a lot of time contributing and answering questions. Then the email spams started happening pushing digests of irrelevant and in some cases harmful recommendations. Then the increasingly asshole-oriented designs around serving up search results and blocking the content unless you signed in or registered. Then the Q/A quality digressed massively to the point where it became less and less useful. There were also changes to the design that merged questions, answers, and recommendations into a largely incoherent mess where I was never really sure what I was looking at or why. Not wanting any further association with the dumpster fire Quora was becoming, I ended up deleting every one of my answers and comments before deleting my account entirely. Now I take pains to block Quora results from my searches and never click on a Quora link if I come across it. It seems like I’m not missing much based on the terribly awful “innovations” mentioned in this article.
