Quora is one of the biggest offenders of growth tactics at the cost of user experience. They make it so easy to create an account without intending to that I probably have 15 of them.

The Google search result looks like you'll see the content when you open the link, but instead you have to login first. OP doesn't want to login.

This 2013 article sums up nicely why quora is frustrating to be directed to while seeking enlightenment, and as others have pointed out they use some unpleasant anti-patterns to lure in (potential) users.
