Yahoo Answers has shut down
Yahoo ^ | MAY 4, 2021 | Staff

Posted on 05/07/2021 6:18:13 AM PDT by Red Badger

Yahoo Answers has shut down as of May 4, 2021. Yahoo Answers was once a key part of Yahoo's products and services, but it has declined in popularity over the years as the needs of our members have changed. We decided to shift our resources away from Yahoo Answers to focus on products that better serve our members and deliver on Yahoo's promise of providing premium trusted content.

As of May 4, 2021 you can no longer access the site, but you can still request a download of your Yahoo Answers data until June 30, 2021. To assist you with this transition we've compiled a list of questions that may come up during this process.

It will just resurface as Yahoo Lies.
Oh, sorry, Yahoo News already has that covered.

I have a junk email account with Yahoo. Haven’t been able to reach it for a week. Yahoo is dead.

Exactly. Unbelievable BS they shovel on a daily basis....at least they used to allow comments - most of which were critical - so they eliminated that. I’ve had a Yahoo email for twenty years and I hate them more with each passing year.

to make it a safer place . . so they say. The words may leap off of the page and strangle someone if we were to believe them. We must all have samethink. No opposing thoughts or someone might get triggered (the left is so violent to different thoughts).

Yahoo’s still around? They had answers? It’s a liberal dump. They’re still struggling to find the questions.

It hasn’t been any fun since they shut down comments a year ago.
