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.

For my fellow Answer addicts: What keeps you plugging away?

Besides the obvious trappings of wealth and fame? LOL!

    It fulfills some sort of need... maybe a need to feel like what I have to say matters to people. A need to feel like I have some sort of significance in this world. I don't know. Maybe I can't really be myself around my real life friends, but I can on yahoo answers. Either way, it's kind of sad, isn't it...

    I am not quite a full blown addict.....yet-LOL! But it is fun, and I absolutely love reading the questions and the variety of answers given. And if my small amount of knowledge can help someone, all the better. And I have learned alot as well.

    so all around, for an addiction, I think it is a fairly harmless one so far. :-)

    must...get...to...next...level!!!! I've seriously been on level 1 for the past year and I recently just decided I wanted to get to level two for the hell of it (since my actions are limited on this level!). Therefore, I started answering questions like a madman. Once I get to level two, I'm sure I'll want to get to level three (if there is such a thing?! LOL), and so on...or maybe i'll just get bored and stop using YA for awhile haha.

  • I keep wanting to get to the next level! And I look forward to seeing how many of my answers are chosen asa Best.
