It's a shitty crowd sourced product that gives nothing back to the crowd. The deletion policy sucks. The inability to delete your own content (without deleting your account) sucks. The way Quora forces people to login to see content sucks. Forcing people to use real names sucks. The user interface, which at this point looks pretty dated, sucks. The product sucks. You can't get answers to questions which sucks. People with lots of followers get all the upvotes, which sucks. Emphasising the social login buttons at every turn and hiding the email login sucks. The community (never as impressive as people made it out to be because one time many years ago the former CEO of AOL answered something) sucks. The admonishment to be ready to dedicate your life (haha!) to Quora on the jobs page sucks big fucking time. By the way how's that working out for you? Worth it? Probably not. Getting a ton of VC money because Quora's founder had some friends at Facebook and then building a piece of shit? Also pretty sucky.
Can you tell I don't like Quora? My only interaction with Quora has been through its product. I haven't had a Quora account in over a year and I still foam at the mouth at the thought of this site. There's a reason I wanted to delete my account. It's a sinister and manipulative product that connives value (user contributions) out of people and returns walls for the favor. I had quite a bit of content on Quora. I think I got overcharged like $40 by some scammy website in the last year and I am already over that, but I never got scammed for money from Quora but I still cringe at the site in a way that's entirely unique and singular. Quora sucks.
