So, essentially, Quora is now expertsexchange, with page cloaking and whatnot? Good to know. (I hope they won't remove this method now that it's publicized...)

Of course I tried clicking on Android and it refuses to show stuff without me installing the app. Ban them Google!

The more people who report webspam, the more likely that is to happen…

They actually officially communicated about this method:

  Open any Quora URL. If you come across a Quora link
  anywhere and you want to read it without being asked to
  join Quora, you can add the text "?share=1" to the end
  of the URL.

It's really not. Once you sign up, there are no pop-ups, nor are there advertisements of any kind.

Nope. Even if this promise were to hold true, I have no intention of supporting such scammy tactics as content cloaking (which I would by implicitly supporting the company which engages in them, thus validating it).

The problem everyone had with expertsexchange was most definitely not ads and popups.
