Possibly. Except the level of the questions asked in Quora is much lower than in SO (a lot of leading/biased questions or just plain wrong stuff) and moderation is nonexistent.

A lot of SO questions are equally low quality and get edited by the community into something more useful.

At one point Quora literally paid people to ask questions. They replaced that with an AI generating questions. Both went about as well as you'd imagine.

Questions drive traffic. They give the answerers something to write about. (The AI version is literally called the "Quora Prompt Generator". It's a writing prompt.) They don't care about the "life" of the site. They care that it has high SEO placement so that they can show you ads.

Some of its SEO is due to the fact that they used to be an attractive community. But having achieved that, they have little need to nurture it. They can coast by on name recognition, at least for a while longer.

Quora was always a slow and leaky product, but their suicide was when they banned MOC. They lost the trust of their entire useful community with that move, and they never recovered. They’re now an ad-ridden, misinformation-plagued, barely usable version of Yahoo Answers, for which it counts as a real achievement that someone managed to do worse.

What's MOC?
