Before Quora it was yahoo answers and it was just as shitty as Quora. The only Q&A sites that are not a waste of time are stackoverflow and other stackexchange sites.

I’ve been pouring my life into the Internet since before Quora existed.
There was never a time I recall Quora not being shit. All it ever did was dilute search results.

I only pull up Quora when I want to know the most common wrong answers to questions.
