As I said in my question..this is a practice that is actually promoted on quora. It gets people writing and putting up their own opinions. I see now why it is not good now here and why I end up writing on quora quite a bit more at this point. I wrote because I like to write.

It's too bad the spammers and greedy ones here are ruining it. I am sure that it will continue to get better as we go. Thanks for your answer.
