Why Yahoo Answers Sucks.
My husband and I joke around all the time about how Yahoo Answers sucks. It’s full of people who ask the dumbest questions and people who answer in the dumbest way. A lot of the times the ‘best’ answer is never chosen as the Best Answer. Most of the time your answers are “idk lol” or “why would you want to do that?” if you post a question asking which option is better A or B. I believe “Why would you want to do that” is an acceptable answer if it’s followed with “because <insert some real thought here>”.
Apparently I am not the only one who thinks Yahoo Answers is turning into a cesspool of the human race. Geekologie has a post on it with over 200 comments! There is also a blogspot blog here with some user submissioned bad questions from Y!A. This showcases some beautiful questions such as (and I’m giving the gist as I am not looking at the exact wording) “if I farted in a ziploc bag and mailed it across the country would the smell still be in it”. Well, now that I sit back and think about this question it does sound suspiciously like someone I know, DBB.
I started browsing around to find some samples but I realized that it is Christmas Eve and I am starting to get very depressed from reading the posts there. Humanity is seriously screwed if our future rests on the shoulders of some of the posters in ‘adolescence’ and in ‘parenting and pregnancy’.
For the record my Yahoo history is 28 questions answered, 3 are open, 12 are considered best answer.
For the record this post was prompted by a post over at Shopping Cart Disco describing how the Second Life(r) Resident Answers forum is turning into the cesspool that Yahoo Answers has become.
Happy Holidays!
