Grumpy Enchantress 586 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 I like asking stupid questions on there to see the responses. I've been banned about 4 times for it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaoios 1,970 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 Most of the answers are pretty good, however, there are some that are just not enough. I'm sure many of you are familiar with Yahoo Answers.

Celtore 2,770 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 (edited) I hate it because of all the dumb posts. At the same time, I love it because of all the dumb posts. It's a love/hate relationship... But seriously, if you want to find an answer to a question, do your own research. It's important to have that skill and the answer you'll find will typically come from a much more credible and reliable source than a random yahoo answer member.

Revy ~ Two Hands 862 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 Depends, a lot of answers made by arrogant people and come off as such. Like any.comments section online, avoid unless neccessary. You can use YA as a way to SEO a link btw. The more you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlight Magician 494 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 Sometimes you get a good answer. But other times, people will troll you and give you false information. I don't bother using it. I'd rather research on trustworthy websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight 7,287 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 I suppose it's alright, but I highly recommend not taking answers from that site if you actually need them, I'd recommend quizlet for that part. It's fun to read all the stupid answers and questions though. Some people are so sassy on there, I'll say that much. matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit_Kat_Club 6 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 The answers on there can sometimes be helpful. But when some idiot thinks it's funny to reply a non-serious answer, then that annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Paige Belle 1,854 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 I think it's absolutely hilarious! I love trolling all the right wing idiots on YA by asking questions about far right parties here in the UK. Example: Should members of the EDL have their children taken away? That question got me banned! Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want? (Thanks Kyoshi for letting everyone use your sigs!)

Legacy Dash 439 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 I love it. I don't directly search it - I search Google, and usually a Yahoo answers result shows up, so yeah - I click it. Sometimes you'll get a silly question or answer, but eh well, it's a good laugh. Signature by . My personal website: Mitchfizz05.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershyfan94 5,742 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 I like it, just random funny questions and some serious. Usually mixed answers but some are decent, so I'd say it's okay.

IcyHaze 595 March 10, 2014 Share March 10, 2014 It's a decent enough place - good info can be found, and it can be fun to browse and answer/ask random Q's I hope some people get the joke ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpop198 696 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 I don't like it, there are lots of ignorants on that site. The whole stupidity parade that goes on there is off putting, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Night 884 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 I think that at this point Yahoo Answers's uselessness has become well known enough to the point where it really is just a joke. I'd prefer of course that every site and its members were unrelentingly competing to give the best information possible, but after all of this time the pathetic content on YA should not really be of a surprise to anyone. I don't have any strong feelings for it. It is good for a laugh or for pet or phone questions, but outside of that it is a wasteland. 1 Sig made by Kyoshi. Cool things people have said about me: Never heard of him but I guess just you mentioning him is a good reason not to go anywhere near that name. (In reference to an author I suggested.)

Guest90210 3,568 March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 I used to spend a ridiculous amount of time on there when I was like 12. Needless to say, it's extremely unreliable and the answers are generally misinformed or flat out incorrect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverseFaller 2,484 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 It can be useful, but far too many people give crap answers just so that they can get points. A lot of people ask stupid questions as well. However, it can be rather entertaining to read some of the crazy things people ask, and or answer. Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discordian 6,015 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 I don't really use JUST Yahoo Answers. It mostly pops up in Google searches when looking for answers. I hold no loyalty or grudge against it when they answer legit questions. Unless it's a question I want to know and none of the answers are even remotely useful. Then I hate the people who don't answer right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadprofile 1,122 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 Yahoo itself is kind've a joke. Yahoo answers allow for answers that are to be taken with a grain of salt for serious questions while all others either make you laugh or want to punch someone (along with every feeling in between).... Yahoo focuses on news that is quite trite and superfluous while their real news articles are incomplete at best, and biased via the authors' views at worst. They are just a poor man's version of Google mixed with poorer versions Huffington Post/CNN/ABC/other news outlets, celebrity Magazines, and Web MD, and just outright random stuff that really has no place. Even their email services stink. I actually got rid of my yahoo account because the spam became unbearable and their filters really don't work. Overall, Yahoo is just unimpressive and tries to do a bit of everything with mixed results, whereas you can get better, clearer information on websites that have a central focus. 1 "In fire iron is born, by fire it is tamed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrinie 392 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 I don't read them often, so they don't really bother me, but when I do read some, they're usually really funny and I enjoy reading them and sharing their ridiculousness with others XD What fun is there in making sense?

Radiance64 7,053 March 12, 2014 Share March 12, 2014 Sometimes I search for a question I have through Google, and sometimes it leads me to Yahoo Answers, and sometimes I find what I'm looking for, and sometimes I don't. So yeah, I have no strong feelings for it one way or another, to me it's just somewhere you end up sometimes I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
