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.

How many questions do you answer, on average. in a day? and Why?

Do you feel the need to share, or is it an attempt to gain points?

Just curious, because I have been through the addiction mode of asking and answering, and am curious how much attention time of your day you give to Yahoo Answers.

Am I slacking here? Should I be answering more?

    Lately, I have been answering as many as 20 questions per day, sometimes even 30.

    There are so many questions on here that deserve good answers. I like to help people, and in the process I learn something new each day.

    I think you should answer an amount that is right for you. Each person has their own limits, and you should not feel coerced to answer any more than you feel like. Thanks for sharing.

    An average is hard for me to come up with. I'm normally only on here on my days off and then, it all depends on the forum. I'll browse through the questions and some days I find tons that I want to reply to and other days I won't find any.

    If you go by my total number of answers and number of days I've been a member, I average 1-2 answers a day. It's never been about points for me. Really, what do the points get us? I just like sharing what I know, giving my opinions, and reading other peoples' answers

    I average about 4 answers each day because that is all the questions I find that I have the ability to properly answer - plus I usually will not post an answer to a question already having a similar answer to the one I would have given. I also generally avoid "opinion" type questions.

    I spend a average of about an hour a day at Yahoo Answers.

    about 10 -12, not the guy you remember from LAST year, eh?

    it's come down mostly to sharing now, cw. i have been introduced to a lot of nice people, and a lot of worthwhile ideas here on YA, and i'm usually concentrating most of my time here learning and associating with them. questions breed answers which cultivate more questions, and indeed i've come to appreciate a whole new USE for this site.

    your wit and wisdom is always appreciated here, cw. but only answer more if your schedule and busy life permit it. slacking is not an option: but prioritizing certainly IS! have a good weekend.

    GREAT to see you here, dear!! :) :)

    There's no average, some days I answer only two or three, some others, more than twenty. Most days, I answer at least ten questions, from different friends. I like to answer questions from all my friends and contacts, whenever I can, even if it's only a short answer, just to say hello to them. When I have absolutely no answer for that question, but I like it, I give it a star, as a way of sending them some love. :)

    Come to YA more often, please, we so love to have you here!! :) :)

    I answer as many questions that get emailed to me. It depends on how many people on my contact list ask.

    I have to admit that I haven't been answering any other questions besides the ones that get emailed to me lately. No real reason. I am usually here to ask, rather than answer.

    I have always enjoyed giving my opinion or giving advice. I answer about 50-60 questions a day, but it could be more. I don't really keep count.

    i dont answer very many anymore, but before i was like, addicted to it! but now i am not, and i am always on another website. but sometimes i do get them just for points, but if i know the answer, a good answer, i will answer it for a good reason. most of the time i am on polls and surveys and jokes and riddles. does that answer your question? oh ya, and thanks for points!

    I'd say it averages out to two. I spend time here to visit friends, learn, and hopefully give useful answer.

    Missed you, Wonderment. Good to see you.
