Will you be closing your Yahoo account when Yahoo Answers shuts down?
The only reason I have kept a Yahoo account all these years is for Yahoo Answers. When it is gone, I have no reason to stay with Yahoo.

i have barely been on Quora for a few days and have asked "neutral questions"..but have already been sent a message that i maybe suspended.?
is this the future of questions and answers sites now that Yahoo answers is soon to be gone? (Btw, the question was "Why did oil prices shoot up right after Joe Biden was elected president?). the other question was "Is Joe Biden going to continue the eviction moratoriums to prevent people from paying rent and mortgate payments? how will affect the economy if he keeps kicking the can down the road like this?')

Why does YouTube keep deleting comments for no reason? ?
It could be a video about avocadoes and I will say it's really healthy... then it's deleted for NO REASON! I'm giving an example. My comments are innocent. Nothing vulgar. No spam. What's going on? Is there bot system failing or are they hiring people who don't know what they are doing?

When you joined Yahoo Answers? And what do you think is this fair to shutdown any service without asking the users? I mean it. Yahoo should check the opinion of users!

What's the most important thing you learned from Yahoo Answers?

What were some of the biggest mistakes that Yahoo made with the running of this Answers site?
In my opinion, a couple of mistakes were: The lack of site moderation and the reliance on trusted reporters, some of whom took advantage of that reporting power. Yet many abusive posts and abusive users remained.
Another mistake was not having a specific section where people could chat, play games and tell jokes, without being reported for breaking the guidelines. What's wrong with making the site fun? There was a time when trusted reporters were taking down so many questions by the hour in Polls & Surveys, that many users ended up leaving this site. You need users in order to generate advertising revenue.
