Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 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.
Just asked a question in what I thought was 'Philosophy' -it's been put in family & relationships, marriage & divorce, ideas?
Am wondering if Yahoo and it's owners are a little offended that I've finally rediscovered this excellent service minutes and hours before it is to close?

This service sucks. It is good that it is being closed down.
The majority of questions and answers are from trolls, people who hate, and kids under the age of 18 .. and often under the age of 13. And the occasional incoherent person suffering from some kind of mental illness (usually schizophrenia).
I come here to try to help others, with a lifetime of training and experience in these things .. but this is not the website to get useful information from. Once it was, but it has deteriorated over the past 10 years.
I suspect that the Y/A owners only care about profit, and that this site is no longer profitable enough to waste time on.
