Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now 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.

Do you think people know you get 3 points for voting best answer on the question they ask?

Update:

Aryeh, athough your right and its not all about the points.

Others like myself take time to answer and feel a sense of happiness when the Asker reconizes our effort at answering their questions.

    They should. But after a few days they may forget to go back and vote best answer before the question is closed. Or maybe some people just don't have time. I don't know.

    Yes, I think they do, but are too lazy. It takes some time to pick best answers and in the same amount of time, you can actually answer quite a few questions.

    I think that any good Yahoo Answerer would be aware of that. But than again, some of these questions have made me aware of a whole new level of ignorance than I had known previous. So dont accept my answer to represent everyone.

    Not everyone... I didn't know until after I got an email saying an answer was chosen, and then it said that if I choose the best answer I'll get 3 points.

    Who cares about points? This isn't a race or a contest. Quality over quantity anytime.

    Oh yea, I don't need a response in order to feed my ego. It's big enough already.

    I sometimes doubt it, when I see the long list of questions I answered that are in voting.

    If you are just voting for best answer and it is not your question, then you get one point not 3.
