Politics has always been a shithole. There was a time when I looked in here and thought, "I'm not swimming in that." It eventually lured me in and made everyone worse that came in.

No.
Assholes lying, promoting Russian propaganda, fostering violence, spreading derision, espousing racism, and more, are to blame for yahoo answers shutting down.

Yes, entirely. And not just because it became the chief focus, but because people began violating the terms of service so frequently that the platform couldn’t keep up with policing it. At the end of the day, it’s just become so full of Republicans’ dangerous disinformation and Republicans’ violent threats, that Yahoo feared they would eventually become liable for the content.
