    Low quality of questions, chat, trolling, probably legal issues around actual harassment etc.  I imagine it also pulls in too little revenue.

    No hidden reasons, and it’s nothing to do with it being nasty. It’s always been full of trolls and bullies. It’s shutting down because of a lack of interest. It’s a business decision.

    It's a shame for users who post genuine questions and answers in other categories but 'Politics & Government' and 'News & Events' have turned into chat rooms full of sniping trolling questions from right-wing, and to a lesser extent left-wing, users and nutters like the user who posts military questions they already know the answers to. Genuine questions have become increasingly rare. Yahoo Answers has become so widely abused that Yahoo has simply given up trying to maintain a questions and answers service.
