Libs, do you agree with this Writer from TheVerge that maybe its best Y!@ be Canceled, since Conservatives are able to have Opinions on here?

“Perhaps the shutdown is for the best, considering the site appears to be overrun with far-right conspiratorial garbage. The current Yahoo Answers homepage is highlighting such introspective gems in its discover section as, “Will America survive 4 years of Joe Biden?” and “Will this summer be record riots by BLM and antifa?,” as well as this instant classic, “Was Stalin right about everything?”

“May all the wayward souls of Yahoo Answers now find the information they’re looking for somewhere more credible.”

    I feel that Yahoo hasn't really done a good job of managing their Answers Forum.

    They allow regular users to do the managing and those users come with a value system and an attitude that negates opinions contrary to their own...that's too much power for a site that SHOULD BE NEUTRAL.

    In the past they have let level 7 users MOVE questions of others.

    This just isn't right or fair to any of us. And maybe it is just not cost effective for Verizon to continue sponsoring this carnival.

    I think *everyone* should be able to express their opinions.

    Conservatives have opinions everywhere. The media lies. They censor liberals more.
