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 did you get rid of the individual categories that we could choose from to answer questions from?

    Because I am guessing they need to make room so they can later add more advertising, this is the only way they can gain more revenue.

    All we can do now is just click on the "All Categories" at the top of the pages and go from there.
