What reviewers want you to know

Positive highlights

  • This makes the responses very rich in a wide variety of opinions and takes on the subject of asked questions.

Critical highlights

  • I have had 3 of my questions that I asked removed because they apparently "violated the Community Guidelines".
  • And this person was receiving many points by simply criticizing and hurting people.

“Amusing but not always accurate...”

Questions and answers are (as near as I can tell) uncensored and un-monitored in any way. This results in some crazy questions and even crazier answers sometimes.

“Was A Good Site When I Joined But Got Worse Over Time”

Jonathan M.

I can remember joining this website as a young college student back in 2009. Then it was very good. I'd ask many questions and get plenty of good answers and some bad ones too. Now I'm lucky if I get 1 answer and whenever I do it's normally not very informative. Fortunately I have started using internet forums more over the years to get help. Yahoo Answers has become so ancient.

I have used this site many times for answers and gotten decent ones before, but some are not so great, and some are laughable. And the site (including Yahoo itself) is pretty old looking and dated.

Don't get the entire point of this service after using it for about 2 months. For the most part people ask questions that are easily googleable and/or simply want their homework done (essay written, problem solved etc).

Providing a quality answer takes time, and with just points for helpful responses, I didn't see any sense in sticking with that service.

Sometimes you get very good answers and other times you can't believe what the heck you are reading.

I get excellent answers to my questions. It is good for emailing, and good search browser. I prefer to over using ask.com, it is a lot better then that. And it is just as good as using Google as a search browser.

I like the feedback mechanism and the crowds reply to a certain question. However, at some point some of the answers are motivated by some interested individuals.

Most of the time, it is a marketing campaign or a sales pitch.

Though some Yahoo answers are just misleading, it is a good source to gather some information. Fairly recommend it.

Hit or a miss. Some questions are funny, serious or bizzare. The same really applies for their answers as well. More often then not I feel that people on yahoo answers are either full of it or they don't know their butt from a hole in the ground. Take what people say with a grain of salt.
