What's even the point of being a paid alarmist troll on Yahoo answers when Yahoo answers was already dead for years now?

    If it was dead for years, then why are major news outlets covering the shut down?  Go ahead and do an internet search on Yahoo shutting down.  If almost any other forum shuts down, you would not see any news coverage.

    The fact is, however, that web analytics shows Yahoo Answers in the top 800 (out of millions of websites). That ranks up there with bbc, npr, and espn. The paid alarmists tried to downplay the importance of this site, another lie in their comical bag of turds.

    See the screen shot of Similar Web below.  In February, YA rank was 840.  Remember, that's out of millions of websites.

    Maybe you had bad management that never checked your work.  Maybe they didn't much care, as long as you had a presence here.  Who knows.  

    The evidence I saw showed blatant trolling, likely paid.  No one is sitting here for years constructing bots and using hacked accounts for nothing.

    There is no point, which is probably why no one was paid.

    Lucky for me, I already had two jobs.

    Nobody was ever paid to post here, if any maybe OM, but I doubt it. And I wish him well. Y!A has always been a joke to begin with, but there used to be good questions and answers here way back. The physics and mathematics categories it was good though. Most of my contacts from that category have stopped posting there. One of them gave homework answers once in a while recently. But GW has always been kind of a mess that grew bigger and bigger and bigger...

    Take good care of yourself and your loved ones, I wish you health, happiness and love!

    I agree.  This was an excellent site 10 years ago but has been in decline since then; this not helped by Verizon's apparent lack of interest.  Shame really, but virtually everyone has gone now so there really would be no point.

    According to the deluded troll, we are all sock accounts of one paid user.  So Dirac is being paid to troll himself then?  Yahoo Joker; still as delusional as ever!

    There isn't one.

    Which is why the claim is so idiotic.

    @the anonymous idiot(s) and the ranking score - 

    The site is literally going off the air in a few hours.  If it were as important as you pretend that means, do you honestly think they wouldn't be doing something to keep it alive?

    Posting the same pic multiple times doesn't answer that.
