Do people not answer questions that are anonymous?
I’ve noticed questions that are anonymous are answered much less. Is it because they could be fake?

Plenty of Anon questions get answered, but yes (esp in some categories) there is often the thought that it could be a Troll or just someone making something up. A LOT of questions posted by someone Anon, aren't things that are sensitive and might warrant someone wanting to hide their (already Anonymous on here due to avatars and made-up nicknames) identity.

I never ask questions anonymously. Frequently, the YAHOO Answer team will not post my questions because of political differences. This unfortunate: not only is i t against free speech but it can alienate 50 % of users who are censored

Most of them are trolls that keeps asking the same question over and over again. Ask too many times and people ignore it.
