They are all just domino's, its been decided.
Anything that gives people a chance to speak out, ask questions or criticize the government is getting cancelled. Then anyone who used these platforms will be cancelled unless they marched to the proper narrative.

Several people have expressed the view that the name calling and outrageous claims have been the cause of the Yahoo shutdown. I happen to notice that the responses with the most outrageous claims and name calling were almost always near the top of the lists. I have always shied away from name calling and tried to give some rational reason for my ideas rather than calling everybody a racist, an idiot, or a troll. There are several other people who do similar things. As it happens, almost all of my responses were placed near the end of the response list where I doubt that they were seen by most people. Others who made similar responses were also often near the end of the list. So, it would logically indicate that Yahoo favored those who engaged in name calling and outrageous claims. So, my conclusion is that the reasons were mostly economic and if Youtube and others don't make a profit they may be under the axe also.

I suspect Yahoo is shutting down Answers ,primarily because ,some time ago , its users went into self destruct mode -- whereby most posts became irrational rants or the work of trolls
It sort of mirrors the actions of the human race, now , in happily destroying its own planet

Yahoo Answers compared to Youtube and Facebook is like comparing your net worth to Bill Gates
