Who else feels meh about Yahoo! Answers shutting down April 20th (Eastern Time)?

Kinda feel like knowing that a site I've been on for 13+ years is shutting down would be something but its kinda meh, I don't even really feel like answering or asking questions on its final day.  I guess that sums up what Y!A has become, meh.

Update:

Mr. Smart *** I knew someone would answer that.

    “Meh” sums it up well.   I’ve been using Y/A since 2007.     In recent years it’s become less and less informative.  I certainly have better things to do with my time.  

    To what extent I care, is that such closures and censorship on the part of media are really limiting s free speech and sharing of different ideas.   But hey, I’m getting old.  I’m happy to have less crap in my life and leave such isdues to younger generations.

    I too have come to grips with it, however, I'm definitely enjoying my last day here. I'm a 15 year member. Yahoo Answer has been a nice past time for me, I'll miss it.

    Same. I started in 2009, though this is my second account, and I just remembered it's supposed to be the last day. It feels like I should be sad about Yahoo!Answers essentially shutting down in THREE hours but whatever, I'm not. Looking back, aside from a few that I've answered these last few days there is a gap between now and two months ago in terms of my activity.

    At one time, I was listed as a top contributor for four or five categories and I do feel like I've helped people over the years. But now, most of the questions I come across are mostly trolls or people looking for questions that fit into their echo-chamber. And no, I'm not just talking Politics here, though that section had it worse than all others.

    Yahoo!Answers has lost my interest, which is a shame but honestly it's for the best that it shuts down. It's just a buggy mess now, and I wonder if I'll miss it with how it's just turned out.

  • And yet here you are.

    The site peaked long ago and has become a cesspool, so it's not exactly any great loss to the world at this point... but it's still a nearly 16-year-old site that has contained a lot of entertainment and the occasional interesting info...and lots of wasted time spent, so either way it's still a bit sad.

    Now we'll all just have to figure out what to do with that extra time we hadn't already found better ways to spend.

    Doesn't make any difference to me. This place is a fill in for my spare time.
