Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

When you answer do you try not to look at the other answers before hand?

I do it so not to become tained, plus I just see if anybody has the same answer.

Update:

P.s. the Philosophy section rocks my socks!

    Yes, I always read the answers, check the askers profile

    and if there is a 360 page I will look at that too.

    Quite often i also look at the profile of the people who

    answer. Some days I spend more time snooping around,

    than answering questions.

    I also go international, to see whats happening on

    other Yahoo sites. Very interesting.

    Just having a bit of fun on Yahoo Q/A.

    I never look. I dont care what others answered with. When I see a question, and Im interested, I usually have an answer dying to get down on the screen, so I have to type fast, so I dont forget what I want to say...lol

    I read some after Ive answered though.

    I will if the question asks for a opinion, or if I'm not 100% sure of the answer. I'd rather have the right answer than look a fool because I wrote the answer that I thought was correct, which wasn't.

    I think about it on my own first but then I look at some of the answers to make sure I am adding something new as well.

    I usually read them first...most of the time they are smartass comments anyway or they consist of the letter "d" for the the two points......see?

    yes i always look as you do to make sure that someone hasnt already answered the question. there is no point in answering it twice unless your point gaming.

  • 1 decade ago

    I try not to look at other people's answers. Sometimes I cannot help it and look anyway.

  • Only if I am having a hard time reading it or understanding it.
