No one uses this.

Estimated annual revenue of around $100M. That's half of Wikipedia's. Someone's using it.

No one uses them.

Quora alone has 400 million monthly active users.

Look at the rest of the internet. Literally every space, every niche, every congregation of experts has rotted away

None of that is true. Your institutional knowledge hasn't keep pace with the modern net. And your nostalgia has biased you against anything novel or unfamiliar.

You're rotting. The net is doing fine.

Nobody sane is using Quora as a legitimate source of information. Seems like you're the one not keeping pace with the modern net. Would you also suggest Pinterest lead the charge in representing collective human knowledge?

  • Nobody uses anything but Wikipedia

  • Nobody I like use anything but Wikipedia

Uh-huh

Would you also suggest Pinterest lead the charge in representing collective human knowledge?

If you're interested in art, fashion, or any number of other hobbies, absolutely.

But if you want to host other media on their systems, it works just as well. I suspect you just feel embarrassed to use other websites.
