    it isn't really fulfilling its purpose anymore so I understand why they are shutting it down, but it was fun to go through still

    Probably not, too many people are speaking their mind, Yahoo threw out their comments sections in their articles and in yahoo answers too. So it's just a bunch of people fighting each other sometimes without actually being able to discuss with each other. Back when the comments were open in the articles, it would be overwhelmingly flooded by ignorant people anyway. In yahoo answers there weren't as many responses but at least it was something. Yahoo and Big Tech overall are taking a censorship approach to things, who knows for how long they'll want us to be informed or educated on questions and answers or seeing political topics on yahoo answers just end up breaking even.

    I think maybe it is time to let go of these old things. It gets too expensive for the company to keep the online servers going especially with something that is not bringing income anymore. And maybe something new similar to this will be made. I’m not saying yahoo would create it but maybe a different company.

    No, not as it is. I'd like Yahoo to fix Yahoo  Answers and keep it. But, they reasonably don't want to commit the resources.

    Hell no unless there’s a bunch of changes which I don’t think yahoo will do. 

    It sold its soul to the trolls.  Yahoo wanted the site to look like it’s visited by a bunch of people so it didn’t do anything to curb the trolls. The trolls drove away the good users do now all that’s left is Pearl and his/her/its short useless answers.
