I've noticed a lot of questions on Quora are saturated by those kind of answers. It seems to be an accepted tradeoff, shameless and often bias self-promotion in exchange for a medium-effort answer. Furthermore it seems to me that a lot of these self-promotional posts are done by paid shills of the company which in my view further discredits them...

As a dev I'm constantly evaluating trade-offs between products and its gotten to the point that for many subjects I won't even check quora links.
