I finally cracked and made an account
It's not worth it, you basically get alerts on the account for everything to the point of uselessness
Comment on How Quora Died

For me I hated Quora because of how locked down it is. Want to view another question on the site? Must register an account first! No fucking thanks. It was always nagging about creating an account.
Because of this I actively ignored Quora results anytime I googled something.

That’s what I have been told and that’s why I have been avoiding creating an account

I found a work around for this even though i don’t use quora anymore here it goes :
- click the question you want to see from the web page . then when the question thread link you want to see appears on your search bar click your search bar and load it manually . Also you have to be in incognito mode for this to work .

Yep, I can’t speak on the decline of quality because it was a site that was early to dark pattern bullshit. It would show up prominently in Google search and then tease “you have to sign up to read the answers”. Uh, no. Reminds me of expert sexchange or whatever that site was that got smashed by stackoverflow for similar reasons.

Umm… expert sexchange?

Experts Exchange, basically if stackoverflow was quora. Can only see questions even when logged in and you’d have to pay a pretty penny to get access to any answer. Or you could collect enough points to access the answer you need by writing answers yourself.
