If you answer your own question on Quora, does your answer ranking go down?
That makes sense. Are there any other factors that contribute to answer ranking on Quora?
Yes, there are many factors that can influence answer ranking on Quora, including the quality of the content, the relevance of the answer to the question, the user's expertise on the topic, the level of detail provided, and the engagement and feedback from other Quora users. 

It's also worth noting that Quora may periodically update its algorithm to improve the quality of its search results and answer rankings, so what may have been true in the past may not necessarily be true today.
