Quora was supposed to be the high-brow answer to Yahoo Answers, but then Yahoo Answers was killed off.

Eventually the muppets found their way to Quora. Probably by accident at first, but the Quora moderation didn't stop enough of the muppetry and now it's just Yahoo Answers pretending not to be.

That's what their marketing team decided to say.

Then they decided to pay people for activity.
