Take Back Your Social Media

How Quora Fell into Enshittification: From Knowledge Sharing to Profit-Driven Content

Quora was once a beacon of knowledge-sharing, a place where you could find thoughtful answers to almost any question. But as the platform has grown, it too has fallen into the trap of enshittification. This page explores how Quora has changed over the years and what it means for users.

• The Early Days of Quora: Quora started as a platform where experts and enthusiasts alike could share knowledge and engage in meaningful discussions. The focus was on high-quality content, and the community was built around curiosity and learning.
• The Push for Monetization: As Quora grew, so did the pressure to monetize. The introduction of ads and sponsored content began to change the platform's dynamics. While these changes brought in revenue, they also started to erode the user experience.
• The Rise of Low-Quality Content: To keep users engaged, Quora began optimizing for content that generated clicks rather than knowledge. The result? A flood of low-quality answers and sensational questions designed to drive engagement rather than inform.
• The Decline of User Trust: As Quora became more about generating ad revenue, user trust declined. The community that once prided itself on high-quality knowledge-sharing began to fragment, with many users expressing frustration over the platform's new direction.
