Do you use Quora? If yes, how it helped you with your product?

Question

Considering all stages from research to distribution.

Megan Elizabeth Parker · Accepted Answer

I used to rely on Quora for product research, but I agree it's become too biased and spammy. Reddit is definitely a better source for authentic opinions and experiences these days. I also find niche forums and online communities focused on my product space to be really helpful for getting targeted feedback and insights directly from potential users. It takes more effort to engage there, but the signal to noise ratio is much higher compared to Quora currently.

Answer

Yes, I use Quora to gather insights and feedback. It’s been helpful  for understanding user needs and refining product  features.

Answer

Quora has been useful for learning from experts and getting different perspectives that have guided our product develpment

Answer

I used to find Quora helpful for product research and getting user feedback, but lately it seems overrun with biased promotional content rather than authentic user opinions and experiences. Reddit can be a good alternative if you find the right niche subreddits for your product category. I've also gotten valuable insights by directly engaging with users and customers through user interviews, surveys, and forums on my own site. It takes more effort but you get higher quality feedback.

Well, I don't trust Quora anymore; it used to be great. But now, many companies are marketing their tools and services there. They create multiple accounts, start a conversation, and answer it, promoting their product. The best alternative platform I found was Reddit. Well, it's not biased, and you get relevant answers.
