how much Yahoo Answers pay to some users for post a lot of questions ?
There are people who post questions that they don't really care if someone answers or not, ask questions in all categories, and never rate or comment on the answers they receive

I never hear of Yahoo paying anyone to ask or answer questions here. At least I never got a check from them for all the help I have given here. But if you are a real expert in an area that Quora do pay some for answering questions. Those who post questions here do it for the fun of it. It is more like a joke room now and not to gain knowledge as it was meant to do.

I'd be more interested to know how much they pay the trolls to cause trouble here, and create message traffic since getting them suspended is near impossible, yet good users are suspended for the slightest infractions.

during the quarters where advertising rates are set........Yahoo use to flood the boards with BOT questions. These were always single name accounts........Fred, Bob, Sally, Alice, etc.......always level 1..........and they NEVER commented or closed out the questions.
and what they were doing, was flooding the boards with OLD questions.........asked VERBATIM, (spelling mistakes, and same puncutation) by some real account, 8 or 9 years ago.
We use to make a game of it, trying to find the ORIGINAL question , using the search bar........... and then repost the best answer, that won the BA 8 years ago.
or just point out that it was a rehashed BOT question.

Yahoo/Verizon DOES NOT PAY people to ASK questions.
You have to subscribe at Quora if you want to be paid to ask questions. Quora is privately owned. It moderated by both the users and management..Trolling is not tolerated for very long.

Yahoo pays them $0.00, same as Verizon and other owners.

Yahoo doesn't pay any users to post here. There may (it is rumored) be organizations that pay users to post on sites like Yahoo Answers and others (but they are wasting their money, if it's true). There are Q&A sites that legitimately do pay users to post, but YA isn't one of them. Some users post here just to be posting (it's like a game to them or just a way to pass the time), but that is no indication of money being earned.

No one gets paid to ask questions on here

Yahoo pays nothing but Quora does if you are selected. It is based on the number of ad views. It is by invitation only.

They don't. No reason why they should.
