I can confirm that the couple of times Google sent me to Quora I left the site as as soon as they required my registration to read, not just post.

Side note: do people really use "sign up with <...>" buttons? I can't imagine agreeing to let facebook snoop on my browsing habits outside their site, or let twitter tweet on my behalf.

In case someone else is interested, I have been able to bypass most of the Quora annoyances with the Chrome Referer Control extension. Similar tricks exist for other browsers.
