Quora has some really interesting content, but there's also a ton of bullshit. A significant portion of the questions I see on my feed are of the form: "how do I get into <famous school>?", "what was <famous person> like in college?", "how do I get a job at <famous company>?, "what is <class> like at <famous school>?, what is <some very specific fact> about <famous company>'s <famous product>?

Yeah, much of Quora is not unlike celebrity gossip for techies. Of course the same applies to a lot of the upvoted content on HN.

All of which are topics that most people, even reasonably intelligent people, are interested in. They may be beneath your tastes, but that does not invalidate them.
