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.
Is the YA! shutdown partly because of dummies constantly asking whether the holocaust\moon landing were real?
There was a big increase in anti-semitic questions over the last year or so, and questions about the veracity of the moon landing don't stop.

I can only speculate on the reasons for the shutdown. I think the powers that be have become lazy and just don't want to deal with it anymore, or they don't think it is cost-effective to keep operating it. When Yahoo slowly began taking away various features and COMPLETELY IGNORED the requests from the users to bring them back or make improvements, it became pretty obvious that yahoo simply does not care about their users.
