Quora, once a thriving platform for experts to share knowledge and answer specific questions, is now struggling to maintain its reputation. The site’s decline in quality and utility can be attributed to a variety of factors, including issues with moderation, functionality, and a rise in AI-generated content. Former users have criticized Quora for flooding the platform with meaningless and repetitive content, as well as allowing hate-filled and nonsensical entries to persist. The site’s attempt to automate moderation and integrate AI chatbots has only exacerbated these issues. Additionally, changes to Quora’s terms of service have raised concerns about consent and ownership of users’ content. As a result, many loyal contributors have abandoned the platform. If Quora continues down this path, it may ultimately lose its human touch and become a platform dominated by AI-generated content.
