Thank you, but just FYI, Quora sucks and you should find a new place to work.
It's a shitty crowd sourced product that gives nothing back to the crowd. The deletion policy sucks. The inability to delete your own content (without deleting your account) sucks. The way Quora forces people to login to see content sucks. Forcing people to use real names sucks. The user interface, which at this point looks pretty dated, sucks. The product sucks. You can't get answers to questions which sucks. People with lots of followers get all the upvotes, which sucks. Emphasising the social login buttons at every turn and hiding the email login sucks. The community (never as impressive as people made it out to be because one time many years ago the former CEO of AOL answered something) sucks. The admonishment to be ready to dedicate your life (haha!) to Quora on the jobs page sucks big fucking time. By the way how's that working out for you? Worth it? Probably not. Getting a ton of VC money because Quora's founder had some friends at Facebook and then building a piece of shit? Also pretty sucky.
Can you tell I don't like Quora? My only interaction with Quora has been through its product. I haven't had a Quora account in over a year and I still foam at the mouth at the thought of this site. There's a reason I wanted to delete my account. It's a sinister and manipulative product that connives value (user contributions) out of people and returns walls for the favor. I had quite a bit of content on Quora. I think I got overcharged like $40 by some scammy website in the last year and I am already over that, but I never got scammed for money from Quora but I still cringe at the site in a way that's entirely unique and singular. Quora sucks.
You sound very passionate about Quora, actually, but a lot of what you've stated here isn't true, or is no longer true, I'm happy to respond to each thing, but your position sounds pretty ideological, that is, I don't think there's anything I can say that will make you stop foaming at the mouth over Quora, which is too bad.
I said a lot, not everything, you've chosen three, I'm happy to respond:
A full name is required to add content to Quora, if you just want to browse, you aren't stopped from doing that with a different/fake name, just ask https://www.quora.com/John-Smith-3000?share=1
We ask people to log in to see content, but it's not required, you can add ?share=1 to the end of any Quora URL to see the content. We also don't require login to view posts. More about that here: https://blog.quora.com/Making-Sharing-Better
Questions aren't "yours" answers and posts are though. Questions are a collaborative resource, so not unlike an entire Wikipedia page, you can't delete it as an individual, though if there are no answers to the question, you can delete it within a particular window of activity. If you go anonymous on the question your name won't be associated with it, same thing if you delete your account. More on question ownership here: https://www.quora.com/Quora-Policies-and-Guidelines/What-is-...
I respect that you clearly feel that Quora should work differently than it does, and that's fine, we've continued to make changes and improvements, some which people like, some which people don't, but the goal is to create a great resource for people, if you think it's not a great resource and it's useless to you, we'll keep trying to improve, though that may never align with what your expectations are.
