Yahoo Answers is a form of crowdsourcing, which is a way to get large groups of people to perform tasks. In Yahoo Answers, these tasks included writing and answering questions. Yahoo answered became a pretty popular site, accumulating about 50 million users at its peak. Later, Yahoo decided to shut it down, though there are a few similar sites, like Stack Overflow, which was bought by Reddit in 2013 and turned into a separate Stack Exchange across many different areas of interest and expertise.

I’m sorry to say that Yahoo Answers is no longer active. In fact, the entire Yahoo Answers site has disappeared, probably due to lack of interest from its users.

Whatever happened to Yahoo Answers? I used to go to that site all the time.
