“Why Do So Many Music Venues Use Ticketmaster?” “What’s It Like to Train to Be a Sushi Chef?” “How Do Martial Artists Break Concrete Blocks?” If you were looking for answers to such questions 10 years ago, your best resource for finding a thorough, expert-informed response likely would have been one of the most interesting and longest-lasting corners of the internet: Quora.

A horrible user experience with an insufferable userbase. I can't believe it even lasted this long.

Who thought it would be great if similar questions overpowered the one you searched for?

The Quora experience:

"Hey Quorans, how many carrots go in a carrot stew?"

Answer to a similar question: "Why does Bugs Bunny eat carrots?"

unfunny joke "I have an IQ of 128" sarcasm Anyways to answer the question, it's because he needs good eyesight.
