Isn't that the spammy site that insists you log in to view answers? I always took it as another Experts Exchange.

What exactly does it do? And is this a bad practice?

It does this:

http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/43179/how-can-i-r...

And it's officially supported:

https://blog.quora.com/Making-Sharing-Better

But you still need to sign up/in in to casually browse.

>And is this a bad practice?

It's pretty user hostile which is why I personally never used the site.

That hiding answers to people who aren't logged in is user-hostile.
