Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now 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.
What will you miss most about Yahoo Answers?
I've been on this account for only a year, and I do think that I'll miss it. I have Reddit, but I also like Yahoo for different reasons. I mainly use Yahoo for random survey questions and anytime I need real advice. I also like helping others, whether it be in the family & relationships, homework help categories, or finding a song based on lyrics... Idk, it's kind of fun and a great way to destress...
Apparently – and I do believe this – the answers site was better 10 years ago. Now, there are tons of trolls, but not everyone is a troll. I do feel really badly for people who give really helpful answers and care about giving good advice. I do think it's kind of a bummer that it's shutting down. Is there anything that can be done or are we out of luck?
I still have to read more about this, but I just think it's a shame. I maybe spend only 30-45 mins a day on Yahoo on/off, but it still be useful to have.

The users, really. I won't miss the 10 minute wait for a new question, though.

Finding out what's going on and what people think about pertinent issues going on.
In real time, with censorship after chatters saw it already.

I won’t miss a certain fingerless guy here with 200 accounts who seems to enjoy reporting me because he can’t get a woman.

The Yahoo Answers Community. Aside from a few really nasty trolls, it's the best on the web in my opinion.
