Quora Experts Exchange Criticism

Heh quora feels like experts exchange. Show a little content for Google and external links, force registration for the rest. Meh, no thank you. Same people running it by any chance?

StackExchange treats me with respect, Quora currently feels like they are playing the old 'Experts Exchange' game of shady techniques and firewalled user knowledge.I hope joining YC they find a more open way to do business. Why should I answer questions to build their closed knowlege base?

Quora is simply turning into ExpertsExchange. I haven't found anything terrible insightful on Quora that I can't find at the top of an HN, Reddit or StackOverflow thread.Never quite understood the hype centered around it.

I used to enjoy browsing Quora about 4 years ago. Then It started showing up in Google search results for any obscure thing I would search. Most of the time I view a question, there is some type of product placement in the answers. It's not of high value to me anymore.

Seems to be filled with pointless echo chamber people like Scoble and cliques of so called "thought leaders"....I have a hard time understanding the point of Robert Scoble and self-appointed "thought leaders". I hate to use the term, but there's a lot of "circle

Once Quora started blurring answers like Experts Exchange, I had no use for it. You're holding user-contributed content hostage? Go away.Complaining about usability on Quora is like complaining about not having privacy on Facebook.

I went on Quora a while ago and answered a few people's questions, mostly about the Stanford CS department and maybe a couple about Django or AI or something. I haven't been back on the site since - I haven't gotten any emails from Quora saying "you should answer this question" or "these people liked your answer" or "this discussion might interest you". I'm probably the kind of person they want on the site, since I actively like answering questions and helping people, but they're not doing muc
