India is the reason! Look at the regional interest graph at the mentioned URL!
Quora is more popular in India than in any other country!

Also change the country drop down filter below the search bar from Worldwide
to India. You see an exponential rise in popularity, and the rise is not
sudden.

Because asking a question on Stack Overflow is becoming a formal skill, for
God's sake!

It gets more annoying and restrictive every day so that I have to think trice
before deciding if I should go again trough that agony of asking a question
and fight with SO admins to keep it from being closed.

I think I was on the site yesterday. Went there through a link on twitter and
clicked a link on that page. I was presented with the dreaded'sign up to see'
overlay dark pattern.

PS: I deleted my account sometimes back because I thought they used too many
dark patterns to my taste at the time.

Tip: when presented with the dreaded sign up to see overlay, you can add
?share=1 to the end of the URL to bypass it.

The question is -- Is it good for Quora?

Recently the site has basically become a plagiarism echo chamber. People
copy/paste blogs verbatim in a bid for upvotes. Maybe Quora should stop
optimizing for Facebook's key metrics like MAU.

Maybe the whole point of Quora is higher quality content, a special place
which only allows for certain standard of content. If everyone can have a
guard of honor, then
