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.

Only for being laughably awful. Quora was in this place where the answers were just good enough that you probably wouldn't be able to dispute any obvious flaws without being a subject matter expert already. Yahoo Answers was only a meme factory.
