There is no way to verify the accuracy of answers, uninformed unqualified people say stuff about politics, healthcare, racism that is often misguided or dead wrong and even dangerous, but those who read it often take it as fact.

As with everything I screwed the whole thing up. If it wasn't for me the site would be thriving and might be on par with Facebook or Twitter.
I tried my best but it all went wrong. I've learned my lesson and I hope for a more prosperous future for the next Yahoo Answers.
I feel like I drove the site over a cliff even though I consider myself tiny before the immensity of Yahoo Answers. It's not that I have any importance or significance it's more that I'm just good at screwing everything up. I feel that it was all destroyed by my negligence and indifference. I apologize to all of you and I hope to do better in the future

Trolls making advertisers not want to be on this page. I also think new rules and regulations are going to applied to forum moderation and it might not be worth the liability for these companies.
