I think it is just irrelevant to the web today. I don't think Quora has a future to be an independent business.
To me Quora is just a more entitled/self-righteous version of Reddit, and much less fun.

It is Quora itself that needs to justify against that valuation, not anyone else. Where that is fine or not, I think the news itself is self-explanatory.
I'm finding it hard to think of other domains with succesful quasi-public institutions run by for-profits without monetization. Are there other examples?
