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.
Why is Yahoo not even leaving a read only option for this page?
There is good information on this site especially on older answers. I don't understand why they won't leave it up. Do they not care anything about historic value? We can download it I guess but I don't understand

"the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode"
i'm sure you can still find your fill of historical content online; where do you think we get the answers from :) we look it up if we don't know

Because they don't choose to do so, and there's a whole lot of garbage posts too. There's little to no "historic value" in leaving up questions that people can find in searches on their own (which is a lot of what was asked here, by people unable or unwilling to do their own searches).
