I used Quora a few years ago when it was explained to me that it was a good way to grow your own brand if you have expertise on a subject. Not sure if growing your brand is still a big motivating factor why people post content there, and if it is, hopefully users are made aware.

Otherwise I just haven't felt it superior to my normal way of finding answers and learning things. If not Wikipedia, Subreddits are troves of good, expert information.

And yes, the Library of Alexandria comparison is a little insulting to humanity.
