Why do some people think Yahoo Answers is a bad place to get advice?

Okay some people are stupid and just waste peoples time. But there are quite a few who do give good advice. Often you can see bad answers and some good advice when you ask a question. So why do some people not like it here?Why do some people think Yahoo Answers is a bad place to get advice?
Of course it is a bad place to get advice. Because some people run for POINTS.Why do some people think Yahoo Answers is a bad place to get advice?
maybe it is asking advice from complete strangers. Or maybe it is the recieving bad advice, along with the good, and not knowing how to ';take what you can, and leave the rest.'; In other words, even bad advice might be helpful, in some way (you know what not to do, for example). Many people don't think that way, and thusly think that because there is so much bad advice, there is nothing to be gained from it. Not true.
Garbage questions made garbage answers, don't blame others.
YOU SOOOO ARE RIGHT SOME PEOPLE GIVE YOU LAME ANSWERS JUST FOR POINTS!!!
You can't please all of the people all of the time. I am sure that Yahoo Answers better serves some types of users (and questions) than others. Every great online application has its detracters and many people are open to criticize, however poorly formed thier opinion may be.
I have no idea why they do not like it here. I try to give a good answer no matter the question but i think it is those that want the points and are in the points race that make this not fun! The points do nothing but give u more questions to answer. I do try to find questions i think i can give a good answer to.





Have a great day!! :-)
five fingers of our hand is not of equal size.


so different people has different opinion.;-$
people seem to forget how easy it is to lie over the Internet and the supposed great advice you are getting about your court case or health problem can be given by a 14 yr old girl or a 40 yr man chain smoking in his mothers basement.


this is a free sight that is for enjoyment purposes trying to answers life questions on here can be silly and dangerous. people need to remember that when they log on to here. remember though that you always have the choice to skip questions you don't like and skip over answers you don't like
In my opinion, some people believe whatever they read on line is the absolute truth. So they take the advice from a stranger and if it does not work out they blame that person who answered their question.


The average person knows that the Internet is full of millions of people from all walks of life and they are not the ones to ask for their final answer to any question. You could be led down a path of no return...if you are on line to joke around and have fun that is something else but if you are here to find a serious answer for a health problem that would be taking a big chance if you thought the answer was correct and followed their response. In the end reading all the answers you have to be the judge and jury....read each answer and weigh each one most of the time common sense will tell you if it's a smart or stupid answer. It's a great place to be entertained and learn something on occasion.

Interresting notice u hv there!


I'm with u! U sometimes receive some really lame answers on questions u really take seriously. But about 70 to 80 % of the time, advices n answers are really useful, n personally, they help me alot solving my issues. It's a really nice thing, just sharing things with people u dnt know.
Because people aren't qualified to give advice. If I ask whether I should kill myself, some people will say yes, and others will give some retardate soundbite about it all being worthwhile.





People answer for the sake of finding some purpose in their dreary and unfulfilled lives, like me, for example. But clearly, three quarters of the posts are terrible advice, and most of the people on here are too dumb to tell the good from the bad.
It can vary greatly. The answers can depend on the question asked, or sometimes, people on here are just messing around. If you ask a questions, you will get a mix of both smart and sarcastic answers...so if you are serious about a questions, nine times out of ten you can weed out the good ones from the people playing around.
