Quora has some nice stuff, but it's less of a site that deals with news. I also have no doubt that the quality of the site would go down if their traffic exploded by an order of magnitude... which is clearly the case at HN in the last few years.
No one's to blame of course, content quality (where quality is a measure of honest reporting) and market forces seem to work in opposing directions.
