Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why do you think such a unique forum like Y/A is closing down?

If it is anti knowledge integration agenda, will Wikipedia too follow such a course?

What do you think might come up to make up for this? More promotions to dancing videos?

    NGDCs .. Wikipedia too  been asking for donations to sustain.. Yahoo probably seems to be having a different strategy.. 

    It stopped Yahoo360 when it still had a good number of following.. It also stopped Yahoo Groups and even the mash blogs that they came up with later I think.. Y/A been going good .. 

    It is been a good platform to ask some holistic puzzle questions sometimes.. Sometimes it did provide some better perspectives of life too beyond the local majority's overwhelming perspectives, that manytines doesn't allow one to even speak up and don't allow the presentions of their own versions of matter, beyond some short capsule tweets .. 

    Of course there are are also arguments that long boring presentations might prevent one to develop the skills of short and sweet presentations.. I don't agree with that though..

    Soooooooooo IDK ..

    Because you were pulling out all the stops while trying hard to trick me into believing there wes some other method for making me think that wasn't you answering my questions when I go post someplace else like all the other places because you're too stubborn to chose between coma, let her at least tell me what to do in person, or pick me up in your white van with uniforms you had on the corners and at Burlington?

    Because the 2020's is the worst decade ever...

  • It's all down to how much profit Verizon can squeeze out of the Yahoo sites.  Presumably, this little corner of the Verizon empire is not returning enough on the advertising since most of us have ad-blockers.  If I were to suggest we hit Verizon in the pocket by switching our email accounts to another provider, that would be a TOS violation, so I won't suggest it.
