The website is garbage. Who wants to watch 15 slides for a simple answer? Are the designers of the website brainless? The site is a total waste of time.
I had a question about a car problem I was having and they had the answer, very useful. I checked out some of the articles and enjoyed the video articles very much.
Hundreds of ads - pop-ups - viruses
Yahoo keeps putting more and more Answers.com sites on their page - I no longer use Yahoo because of this.
Answers.com is the worst of the worst
I see this on my facebook feed and I hate it. They have slow ad spamming article pages and it doesn't even work as much, sims 3 on this computer runs better than answers.com.
Click bait crap website, even when it does have something moderately interesting the pages refuse to load. Why yahoo keeps allowing this site into its feed is beyond me.
My internet connection speed is around 45MB/s yet anything from Answers loads like I am using a dial up internet connection. Even though Answers often has items that seem interesting I avoid anything related to Answers such as Answers Hollywood, Answer Health, Answers Celebs, Answers Food, etc. I believe that one reason Answers is so slow is due to all the advertisements that have to load into the webpage being displayed.
I finally understand why answers.com is set up that way. The comments make it clear that you don't need to make more than one or two visits to find that the site is garbage. But some people are new to it and neglect to read that little "answers.com" at the bottom of that interesting link on yahoo. That's how they keep getting money. Keep clicking out of curiosity until you get sick of it and make lots of money for someone while you do it. It is there strictly for profit, since the only thing working is the ads.
Since it's not possible to complain directly to them and it wouldn't matter if you could, i am now making use of the little "x" that appears in the upper right corner of the yahoo link. Just hover in that area and it will appear. It's a way of rejecting the article, and it actually asks why you no longer want to see anything else like it.
Frustration drove me to go through every article offered on yahoo's home page, pick out the ones from answers.com, click "other" as a reason, and type in why i don't like it, mentioning very specifically that it's because it's answers.com. I'd suggest that the rest of you (except those astro-turfing 5-star raters, who apparently work for answers) do the same. It will take far less of your time than trying to get to fact #3 about doris roberts by clicking for the 12th time to get fragments of the one caption that goes with that one picture.
One more thing: the people who buy ad space on this site are apparently willing to waste their money on something they've not taken the trouble to investigate. There's a lot of stupidity involved in that collaboration.
The only site on the internet that can slow my computer to a stand still. I see their ads on facebook and get interested in what they have to say but ALWAYS regret the decision to click on them.
This site is full of crap because I got blocked for changing an answer to sound along the lines of someone actually doing research most of the answers on there are copied from websites and according to them copyrighted material is prohibited and yet the supervisors are pricks especially this one called Kluss. Whoever that person is got Site jabbed and I stand behind my review. I wouldnt bother going here because all you're getting is regurgetated information that you can easily find on Google or any search engine and not waste your time getting fed stuff that someone copied off a website and fed it to you. A good majority of those people are not experts and some of the categories are ones I have experience in, but then again your answer will be seen as wrong by the supervisors who live on that site day in and day out changing people's answers especially the ones who know what they're talking about. A complete waste of time I've had more success with Yahoo Answers than this BS nonsense.
It is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! It has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many ads. Above ALL else in the universe I hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this site. Am I being clear on my opinion?
For a site with potential for the topics and pictures, yet this site is very unfriendly and slow. At first, I tried to negotiate through the site waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting for the page to open up. I purchased a brand new computer and yet this site is so slow, I thought there was something wrong with my computer until I go to other web sites. Sometimes the same pictures would have two different sentences, why? Why not combining two sentences together and move on to the next picture? This site is so jammed packed with sooo many advertisements that it literally bogged down the loading of the page. It's a wonder why these people bothered to advertise on this site. NOW a lot of time I click on the picture with interesting topic and once I look up and see it's Answer site-I immediately close it and avoid it like the plague. Why did I took time to write this review? Because like I said, the site have potential to be better but I bet the morons that run this site won't read reviews like this to fix their own sites. It's a shame!
Worst site ever and too much adds, i do not (never) recommend this freakin' site
And it was never helpful at all!
How long does it really take answers.com to load a singly page? I gave up after 30 minutes in an attempt to actually find out how much BS loads on each page. Fact, I could not sit long enough to let the page actually finish loading ads or if it ever does finish. This site is a croc of shi... totally unusable. I cannot believe that companies associate themselves to a site where you ad may be the 50th or higher add to load, waste of money and time. Also provides overlapping videos, partial videos etc. in between windows error messages due to not responding, long running scripts, freezing your browser etc. I personally will not use any business advertised on this site due to their acceptance of the tons of garbage this site loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads... To bad you cannot give negative stars because they deserve all of them you could check
Bye answers.com
Slow, worse that recalls of dial up. Too many ads, waste of time. Avoid at all cost, unless you want to do dishes while each page loads.
It is awful! So much on it moving ads. Auto play commercials that jam your feed. The pages take for ever to lad... I hate this site...
It takes too long to load and ad-ons are frustrating. Norton also block a virus from this site. Avoid it at all cost.
Literally no wit or value to any article I have ever clicked through. Truly one of the worst sites on the web.
The site is a P. O. S. Boggs down my computer, slower than heck. I avoid Answers.com like the plague!
Seriously one of the worst websites of all time. I can't believe this is what they could come up with.
