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.

Anybody else think Yahoo! Answers suck now?

There is nothing wrong with the site itself. It is the type of answers that are given and the type of questions asked. Ten years ago, Yahoo Answers were filled with mature questions and people were quite helpful. Now, you can't even ask a serious question most of the time without getting hateful, rude, immature, or just downright sarcastic answers. Most of the questions asked are silly, for example girls asking for celebrities numbers (uhhh...I doubt anyone on Y!A has Justin Bieber's number) and people asking dumb racist questions.

What's happening? Are there new regulations that have attracted weirdoes and wack-jobs?

    Since it's summer, kids & teens are hanging out here. Y!A is still good, just hang out in categories with more "mature" users.

    there are stupid nine year old kids and 12 year old kids that are using their mommy and daddy's e-mail accounts or creating fake yahoo answers accounts and ruining it with their immaturity. Also, stupid people with nothing better to do are trying to get points and end up writing the same spam on every question. It bothers me. I still like the site tho :P

    This is a everybody place. Just look for the good questions or wait for the good answers. There's still people that answers good. My problem is that I don't read long questions. And sometimes my jokes are taken wrong ha ha, oh well.

    take care

    It depends on the person who is serious about having a question and the person who answers can chose what and how to answer appropriately.
