How Quora Died (slate.com)

“Why Do So Many Music Venues Use Ticketmaster?” “What’s It Like to Train to Be a Sushi Chef?” “How Do Martial Artists Break Concrete Blocks?” If you were looking for answers to such questions 10 years ago, your best resource for finding a thorough, expert-informed response likely would have been one of the most interesting and longest-lasting corners of the internet: Quora.

I disagree, quora at the beginning was a place to find quick answers to a lot questions on many different themes, a bit like reddit. But it rapidly became full of "pro replier" just like the Microsoft forums and it was unbearable, then, my 2 cents, it was confusing because of subscription, layout, suggested q&a totally unrelated to the topic I was looking for and a lot of questions that nobody would ever even post on /No Stupid Question (I don't want to judge, but for a lot of them it was easier, faster and you'd get an immediate answer with a plain Google search)
