Why We Don't See More Quasars in the Early Universe?

There aren't any quasars in our neighborhood, which means that the reason we're seeing them far away is because they're basically dying out. The closest quasar to us is about 600 million light years away. It's really a good thing that there isn't a quasar next to us, right ause, lik if the milkwe had a quasar, we'd be parley toast it. And so if the milky way was a quasar, if we had a big quasar at the heart, it would probably be shooting off into space, frying other aliens, probably not us.
