How did Yahoo Answers fail so badly?
User Base:
How to lose 50 pounds in a month? /Amputation

Moderation:
- Report an answer for abuse
- You’ll get a notification that your report means something
- The answer is removed from your own feed.
- But open up a new window, log off your account, and look back at the question? You’ll see the answer still there, no worse for the wear.
When moderation is lackadaisical and not a first-class citizen, your platform suffers. It’s quite possible to take this to the extreme as platforms like StackOverflow tend to. But give them credit, the content is top-notch there and people REALLY try to help each other.
If you’re recently displaced from Yahoo Answers, here are a few alternatives:
Sage:
Founded in 2020, Sage is a knowledge marketplace focused on efficiently getting people answers from vetted sources. Similar to Yahoo Answers, Sage includes public forums that are free and open to the entire community. Questions are rated and sorted by the quality of the content. The higher the quality, the more likely your question will rise to the top to be answered by the community.
Additionally, you can pay for 1:1 advice from vetted experts or post your question with a bounty to really get the community activated.
Quora:
Stack Exchange:
If you’ve got an interest in a field, chances are Stack Exchange has a group for you. Join to find answers among like-minded peers. Stack Overflow is just one of the many websites there that have a loyal and helpful following.
