Why dont anyone answer questions anymore?

I've asked numerous questions that are never answered. I've even asked the same question in different categories. No answers, and I ask legit questions.... It's almost like everyone answers trolls before serious questions... :( I miss yahoo answers back in the day...

    Im with you, after I first started utilising yahoo solutions, its was soo good! I might have a couple of solutions in seconds! However now, i have got to wait Days, and mostly they never get answered, i've a myspace question up at the moment, and i am just questioning how lengthy that will take to be answered, but i feel they dont get answered as a lot anymore, considering individuals are over the stupid questions some folks ask.

    That really not the case.Every question doesn't get good answers or multiple answers or in some cases any answers, it depends on the question, the category. the time of day which varies from country to country and who on line who may have an appropriate answer.Every question doesn't receive instantaneous answers in many cases you need to give it some time time.very important is to be sure you place it in the appropriate category and keep it simple.

    if you don't get what you consider a best answer you can extend the time for it, another 4 days.

    Go to the question, click Edit (pencil icon) in the action bar below the question, and select Extend Expiration from the option menu.

    In my experience most reasonable questions do get at least a couple of answers. There are three main types of question that get no answers at all. 1) questions that are so badly worded it's impossible to work out what the asker actually wants to know, 2) requests for ridiculously specialised and obscure information that the average Yahoo user can't be expected to know, 3) blatant attempts to get other people to do the asker's homework, usually simply a copy and paste of an essay title. Do any of these sound like you?

    You've basically answered the question by mentioning trolling. Trolling is so easy... and yahoo isn't as popular as it use to be. That or peopleare too busy making babies and working overtime.

    You may be a little impatient or your questions don't attract us to click on them.

    If I see a question that is likely to be a violation I will skip it .
