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.

Every media outlet article I read has only negative things to say about Yahoo Answers, why?

    Time was that never would have been the case; apart from the extremely odd questions (of which where were not a great deal), the site started to get real nasties on it, hoping to kick off others who came on here for the right reasons, and were not intimidated by the behaviour of the more puzzling and hateful.

    This is why the media outlet (especially English ones) are hungry to let us know what kind of a site this was - and what it had become.

    Most media outlets are biased and liberal, but there have been lots of radical questions here from holocaust deniers and paid-up Republicans, lotta racist questions, lotta homophobic questions. Mustah been maybe 1000 questions from moon landing hoax theorists. These folks ruin it for the rest who just want to enjoy the site.

    Ever since i can remember Yahoo has been dismissed as just a 'kids' website so it never had a great reputation.

    Because it is rubbish and has been for years.  Some of us only drop in to see how bad it has become and to reflect on how when people get the freedom of speech they demand (and other countries dream of) they abuse the privilege until it has to be removed.

    Because the label says 'all your questions answered', but the product is, an array of racist right-wing conspiracy theories

    It all started when they removed 'no best answer' option and 'deleting asked questions' option. I can't delete my questions that are only answered by trolls and spammers.
