WHY IS YAHOO! ANSWERS SHUTING DOWN!?

Yahoo Answers has not been doing well Lately a lot of Users have Left Poor Maintenance of the

Site they have not Fixed a lot of the Problems they are Likely Losing Money on it as well so

They feel its Best to Close it Down If there not going to Fix it they minus as well Close it

Down

For the umpteenth time: Because Verizon Media is choosing to shut it down (just as they did Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Groups). No specific explanation was given, but considering the significant decline in quality of content on the site versus the cost of cleaning it up and keeping it running, it's not a surprise (a disappointment, but not a surprise). Do you really think this question hasn’t been asked dozens of times already? One need only review the question list to find the responses.

..imo only.....It is a PRIVATE BUSINESS who has made a decision after much deliberation I am sure.

 New laws are coming out that will hold social media sites responsible ( libel) to clean up what is posted ( racism. slander, abuse ,porn etc...FAST or face fines = $$$$$$$$$$$

They don't really say much, except to better serve our users or something like that. I think because of too many trolls. Someone here said website laws are stricter and I think they are right. Yahoo could get in trouble due to all the crap people post on here: Hate speech, libel toward other users, racism, etc. I think the feds are cracking down.

too many people don't agree with verizon's leftist agenda, they have to be silenced
