Jaxtekon Here’s a Question: Why Does Quora Exist?

Quora used to be really good.Now it has become like Facebook. Memes are everywhere.Female users are getting too many upvotes.People write totally dumb stuff and call themselves "writers".Most of the answers are memes/narcissistic/spam/low-quality.

Jaxtekon Ask HN: Do you know any company likely to beat Facebook?

A social network grows old with its user base.Here in India,new users don't signup to FB but Instagram.New users wanna be where their peers are.Younger users don't wanna be where "old" people are (Except for WhatsApp ).

"Facebook.com" will surely die in India.But Instagram and WhatsApp won't die.FB as a company won't die.Whenever a new social network which can beat FB (by attracting younger generation) comes up,Zuck buys it.So as long as acquisitions are done,FB(company) won't die.
