Addictions?

I hear all the time about how addicting this site is, but I was wondering...

What if Yahoo caught on to this addiction and realized they could make some money off of this and started charging? How many people are so truly addicted that they will actually pay to use the Answers site?

    Well everyone says no. I say B.S. It is a value to have things like this at your fingertips for those who need or need to share valuable info. I'm willing to bet that when not if Yahoo starts charging, people will come around and pay. Just as with the gas and the price of every thing else going up, and all the people who said they would not drive and all those drastic things of that nature, and they ended doing it anyway. People will pay. I will bet money on that.

    I would be sad, b/c I like Yahoo Answers, but I'm a college student! I certainly don't have money to waste on trivial things like yahoo answers.

    It depends on how much they would charge and if they would make it cooler, since they would be charging for it.
