Quora has to be one of the most useless, misdirecting "resources" out there. No idea how much of this changes once you make an account, but every single question is filled up with ads and other people's responses to other questions. It looks so confusing and messy. Who would want to sign up for a site that seems so disjointed?
All signing up for Quora gets you is email roundups that keep coming no matter how many times you unsubscribe.
I finally managed to unsubscribe to that crap. Took me forever!
I haven't gotten any in a while but I'm up to 9 Quora email addresses in my block list.
This became bad enough at my job (I'm a school sysadmin) that I blocked quora.com in our spam filter...students had a habit of signing up for it and like you said, it's damn near impossible to unsubscribe, let alone show 200+ kids how to unsubscribe.
There was a time quora was genuinely interesting/useful as an a2a site for all your 'expert opinion' questions. Now it's just another social media
