Why do yahoo answers users only answer questions that can be easily retrieved in a google search?

  • The 2 times I've asked questions simple search engines can't help me on, I've gotten either 0 responses or humor related answers. Too bad to. While being a worthy experiment, it seems yahoo answers is failing.

  • Answer:

    What were your questions? Maybe I can answer...remember, Y! Answers is an inter-net tool. Anyone and everyone will be answering, which means your open to about everything. I would recommend doing some chat board research. Surf for more deep thinking, thought provoking boards (if that's what your looking for). Good luck in your quest for better answers!

I searched for an answer to your question but couldn't find anything. Sorry.

Perhaps other avatars don't recognize you. Are there dark glasses on your avatar? That has been my conclusion-about 1/3 of my questions received 0 answers.

Maybe the orignal premise of the site has failed, but overall people are very addicted to it.

I usually answer any question that requires thought or opinion, but if there is something that i know about, then i will answer even if it is a simple answer to a question that would have been researched from the asker. I have noticed that a lot of the questions being asked are so simple to just research, and in that sense it is a little sad that some people have no motivation to find answers on their own. But, i wouldn't go so far as to say that yahoo answers is failing..... regardless of how silly or senseless the questions, or answers, may be, we are all still engaging in some form of communication, and that is something that much of our sociey lacks. Enjoy it when you can answer a stupid question, and feel good about enlighting someone. The point is we are interacting and it doesn't hurt to share ideas, opinions, knowledge, and even jokes with the rest of mankind, even if is it just to avoid boredom.

because it's easier to get Best Answer on a fact question. opinionated answers may not be what the questioner wants to hear. there's really no right or wrong answers.
