There was a time when i genuinely looked forward , was even inspired by posts there , does the company realize the degrade ? I would love to have the old quora back..
populism ≠ quality and Quora's community devolved into the former
Cult of personality is what happened. To me Reddit > Blind > Quora, because posts are judged and dissiminated objectively on basis of content not by poster’s credentials/popularity
Quora is great time pass and educational . Me like a lot !
Quality had diluted overtime for sure, blind is exclusive enough to act as a filter
Blind is too good but Tc , fang intensive
Like every new fad - most of them are hyped... Everybody jumps on a new fad only to find that they got suckered. The founders and VCs use the number of registered users to inflate their metrics and projections. Who cares about long-term usefulness if there's an IPO/acquisition exit nearby?
Quora allowed many users from certain foreign countries to join their English language platform, which is fine, but didn’t do a good job of moderating content. You see a lot of answers and comments with poorly-written English (like Yahoo Answers), and making references and words very specific to that particular country (without explaining the context to an international audience). In a nutshell, those writers assume that all readers are from the same country and will understand the cultural and language references (as well as the poorly written English). This alienates users that don’t belong to that country. There’s also the point that having so many people from a single country created an ideological echo chamber, where its national (or should I say ultranationalist) agenda was pushed forward aggressively, often justifying recent atrocities, genocide etc.
Lol... very much like most of us on Blind treat this like a US- and tech-industry platform.
No one is being alienated. You will see a ~90% reduction in content from that country by strategically muting < 10 topics. That does not explain why Quora is going downhill.
I haven't seen blind posts from Quora folks for a while. As if nobody is working there anymore but the servers are still running. Any hope for the IPO?
We just don't need a huge engineering team to run the company.
How is quora even making money? Ads?
What upsets you? The ads?
No the quality of content
people merely copy-pasting answers from other trashy websites
