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.

Why don't the people here use Google first when asking simple questions?

This was made so when Internet searches fail, you can still find answers. I just don't understand why some people don't look up the really simple things first. Any theories? Oh and why can't the same people who post the simple questions spell?

    lol - I've wondered the same thing. Sometimes I think the person is just bored and this YA is something to do.

    I agree.

    But, asking it here is just a lot less work and also a lot more accurate when you're trying to find an answer to your personal situation, as it is sometimes hard to find answers on the internet as they are generally more general answers that apply to a large group, instead of to a bunch of specific individuals.

    Because it's more fun to get answers from US then boring experts. Also, we may have experience if it's a question about what someone is going through.

    IDK. But, sometime internet links and contradictory or just plain Wrong. I've seen posted sources that were full of it. It's best to see all sides--I trust Experience better , anyway.
