Quora dethroned Yahoo 8 years ago and has been the King of QnA ever since. It doubled its user base from 100 million to 195 million last year. Now they have decided to expand the Quoran Army by taking down the King of videos – Youtube. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Back in May, they started playing with native videos in a closed beta release. Only users in the certain groups like beauty, cooking, fitness, and parenting had access to it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After months of testing, they have finally rolled it out to Apple users! Pretty soon, Android and desktop users will get the same feature. <\/p>\n

So How did Quorans react?<\/h2>\n

Back when Quora launched the beta version of this feature, they got mixed reactions. While some welcomed it, many were not happy. People like Eric Lauritzen thought that it will spell the end of Quora itself!<\/p>\n

Contrastingly, some were so excited that they wanted to be a part of the beta testing:<\/p>\n

While videos are obviously the way forward, it was Quora\u2019s turn to provide Answers this time. The Questions were like:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
    \n
  • How will Quora keep folks like Eric from deserting the platform?<\/li>\n
  • Will this destroy what Quora originally stood for?<\/li>\n
  • Should they ditch the whole idea of introducing video itself?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Quora answered all this in sublime style!<\/p>\n

    The Video Tab<\/h2>\n

    They created a new feed exclusively for video answers thereby protecting the original newsfeed. In this way, people who hated the idea of marrying Quora with Videos could just wouldn\u2019t be affected. But for the video enthusiasts, you can always indulge in videos by going to the video tab: <\/p>\n

    Once you click on the Videos Icon, you get to see the questions and answers pertaining only to Videos:<\/p>\n
