why did yahoo answers take the comments feature out?

because when you have to block someone, because they are rude. they would go on someone's answer in the comment section and cuss you out or get rude. many on here have tons of accounts

They never gave a specific reason, which is the norm for Yahoo.

Per Yahoo:

"In order to strengthen and improve community and engagement, we are temporarily disabling comments.

Our goal is always to create a safe, engaging place to connect over interests and passions and we’d love your feedback on how to improve this experience. Please email us your feedback at yahoocommentfeedback@verizonmedia.com"

They decided to give Xena a break.
