Do they still make you sign up to view all the answers? I remember being greatly annoyed that the site kept coming up at the top of Google results, only to be blocked by needing to login.

Whereas other rivals sites like the ___ exchanges didn't have this nag.

Shouldn't Google catch on to this stuff and demote their site ranking?

Google's policy is that the first link from google's results must be freely viewable, but any other links on the site can be paywalled, login-walled, etc. That's why you can often just google a WSJ article or the title of another Quora question and view the results freely. It's all based on the HTTP referer.
