No because most of us have no life or friends and this is our only social outlet and way to cope with our mental health problems and life frustrations, or concerns.
Or even just to enjoy this site like polls, movies, or fast food, recipes, beer section, or sports.
They should not allow anyone to have more than two accounts or even more than 1 on yahoo. The problem is if they regulate that, then no one would be allowed to come back once suspended.
Some users get suspended over trivial reasons.

There was considerale more endless hate under comments. You can hate on a question once, but come people were leaving dozens of hateful comments under an answer. It was out of hand.

Where? Some users get a lot of hate on here for some reason. It is sad and unfair especially if someone lies about other users. Users should not be banned especially if there is no proof because there is two sides to a story always so one side is not correct. Anyone should have the RIGHT to answer questions and ask them here to say their side of the story. And it is not against the law. People are quick to accuse certain users of things that might not be true and can hurt the other person. Some users sadly stalk and harass other users and reporting is abused which has been for years now. Not true. About hate on answers. Would not be the same without answers.

It should ban harassers, not let them ask questions as it is against the law to ask those questions and then be able to ask more.

Any question or answer that is a violation should be reported so that it might be removed. No, there is no reason to shut down the site because some users violate CGs or TOS. The "comment" feature was widely misused for chat and for users to try to post answers in questions where the OP had them blocked. On top of that, rampant abuse by users insulting others was common. There was just not enough benefit to the feature, and it added no value to the database. On top of that, all comments were often removed after a certain period of time (even the useful ones).

None of us know whether "amount of hate" was a consideration.
But like Daniel said, without the option to post answers, this site would not exist

Than YA would cease to exist. If you can't answer a question, why take on the?expenses of power, memory space and and bandwidths required to maintain the digital bases and server computers and the?salaries and wages of all the engineers and IT technicians and the few remaining Yahoo customer care agents? All that remains of Yahoo Inc that brings in revenue from selling advertising space are YA and Yahoo free email and pro Mail. Yahoo Finance?still exists but seems to be totally glitch ridden.
YA is losing people to Quora and Reddit all the time. Verizon Communications barely made a profit in 2019. Verizon OWNS what little is left of Yahoo Inc for the last 4 YEARS .if you include the 6 months before Verizon took control of the Sunnyvale headquarters on June 13-14, 2017. Your information is totally outdated.
Provoking and exploiting the entire YA community is?a quick way to get your email account blocked from participating on YA. YOU are contributing to the hate. Who is paying you? Russia, China, Iran or Turkey?
