Adding 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.

This. 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.

Just like what Meta is doing currently whether with Whatsapp channels and trying to add similar features to all its apps.
