I really don't know if it is:

1) Average people are really bad at separating signals and noises.

2) Quora is actually good but I somehow have been using it wrong

3) I'm old and grumpy and don't understand how the internet works anymore.

How could not Quora have a super high bounce rate and get punished by Google? It's almost impossible to find any useful information there.



IDK how Quora is suppose to work but every time I reluctantly try to read an answer, I find the first answer too basic or incomplete, then the next answer has nothing to do with the question, but that's not user error on part of the person who wrote the non-sense answer, the site is actually designed to present a random unrelated answer in slot 2. It's like if somebody saw the hot and related questions sidebar from stackoverflow and said "what if we took this useful and interesting engagement feature and made a useless annoying version of it? " Then I don't bother checking for a 3rd answer, I just leave Quora mostly unsure of why I even bothered.
