A few years back I used to love browsing Quora, I had tamed my feed in such a way that it showed mostly relevant (to me) content that I enjoyed.
For example Alan Kay used to be pretty active on there, and other experts in different fields. As always you had to be careful to take everything with a grain of salt because some people used Quora as a creative writing outlet and it wasn't always obvious. Others ran business scams (sometimes not the get rich quick variety) and there was a famous-ish one made by someone called Gordon Miller on there (but I can't recall all the details).
But there was a lot of good stuff too, for example there was a guy in the fitness circles who accidentally used Quora as a springboard to a YouTube channel (Geoffrey Verity Schofield). But my favorite memory of Quora remains reading Richard Muller's answers regarding physics and life in general (and enjoying them very much) and then years later stumbling upon a book in a book shop that he wrote (Now: The Physics of Time). I don't know why but weirdly I felt more connected to the "creators" on Quora than the ones on other social media.
Long anecdote over, last time I browsed Quora was almost two years ago sadly.
