Yup, the login wall is a major PITA. Enforcing that for people who simply want to read the content is a mistake IMO. However, Quora made the decision that it would force enough signups for it to be worth it...not sure I agree, but they have more data available on the issue than I do.

Exactly why I have never even visited Quora.
Facebook login required? Forgitaboutit. I've never had a facebook account and never will (sure, I know you maybe can use another service...but just it isn't worth my time).

Quora was started by ex-Facebook CTO / VP Eng, who previously lead "Facebook Platform", i.e. the login requirement now seen at Quora. However, most of the world moved on.

Logging in is required to read, but you do not have to use Facebook login. I just created an account with my email address.
And the UI/UX hasnt been updated for years.Doesnt feel modern.
Just my 2 cents about why i dont use Quora.
Could have been a great tool to build E-Reputation for engineers.
