I have been on Quora for maybe 4 years, I still get their daily digest; even though I hate it I have not had the energy to navigate the unsubscribe process. It's annoying because although they initially attracted a lot of high profile members, as they become more popular they are doing a very poor job of maintaining quality. Unlike Stack Exchange the community moderation tools are not useful; not to mention the community itself does a terrible job of actually moderating for quality. It's Microsoft Q&A / Yahoo Answers all over again. The number of highly-upvoted "answers" which are simply self-promotion links or conceited, self-absorbed nonsense is sometimes beyond belief. To give the community the benefit of the doubt, it's possible they have open holes that are allowing bots to upvote answers, or that they have a paid answer promotion service which is not vetted for accuracy or relevance to the question. |
