It’s better to avoid companies like Quora entirely - they have highly SEO-ed but increasingly low quality content and just clicking on the link will tell Google to promote it to other people.
I stopped using it when they started search cloaking and have never had cause to reconsider.

I wish Google took a harder line against sites that make content available to their scraper that isn't available to the end user. It's one of the things that pushed me over to using DDG. (I'm not sure if DDG takes a more active approach, but I think less energy goes into gaming DDG's algorithm by the SEO-driven companies who do things like this.)

I use this trick once in a while when only Quora has what I am looking for
But it doesn't work for 2 consequitive requests
Luckily, Quora doesn't have quality content these days, like it used to back in the day when experts wrote answers

It always works for me for multiple requests. You have to add the "?" at the end of the link once again and refresh to make that popup go away.
If you were using it just to read answers, you can still do that with a tiny bit of effort and avoid logging in. Just put a ? at the end of the URL (it’s originally a parameter called “shared”, which would be added as ?shared=1). It will then assume you’re coming from a search engine link and let you in without the login popup.
