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.)
