Personally, I think it is being closed because Yahoo management is too stupid to improve it and monetize it.
If they would hire some moderators to delete the troll-like Q & A and also the hateful stuff, and then put some advertising on here relevant to the category people are participating in, it could turn into a revenue source for them.
Put some ads for diapers and whatnot in the Pregnancy & Parenting category, banks and insurance ads in the Business and Finance category, Beauty product ads in the Beauty and style area, etc.

This is by far the most active section...and that ain't sayin' much.

It wasn't profitable: It's called Capitalism.
Additionally, no advertisers wanted their banner displayed on a forum that was overrun with anonymous trolls asking questions that displayed all of the worst of human nature.
